What is Energy
 In Physics
 ENERGY is the CAPACITY
to DO WORK
Energy
 We cannot “see” it, only its effects
 We cannot make it, only use it
 We cannot destroy it, only waste it
 Needed by organisms for growth and
movement
 Needed by society for improved
standards of living and economic
development
Energy
PHYSICS
 provides basic scientific principles
needed for an understanding of energy
and energy technologies
 deals with the properties, changes,
interactions, etc., of matter and energy
FORMS OF ENERGY
FORMS OF ENERGY
 CHEMICAL ENERGY
 Energy related to the bonds that hold
particles together
 Energy from the food we eat
 Energy stored from fossil fuels
 Energy stored in batteries
FORMS OF ENERGY
 NUCLEAR ENERGY
 Energy related to the
decay of the nucleus of
an atom
FORMS OF ENERGY
 RADIANT ENERGY
 Electromagnetic waves of the
electromagnetic spectrum (ex. Light)
 Radio waves, infrared, microwaves,
visible light, terahertz, x-ray, gamma
 FORMS OF ENERGY
 THERMAL
ENERGY
 Can be felt
 Related to the vibrations
of the particles in an
object
 Can cause a change in
temperature, dimension,
or phase of an object
FORMS OF ENERGY
 ELECTRICAL ENERGY
 Related to the movement of electrical
charges
FORMS OF ENERGY
 SOUND
 Energy that can be heard
FORMS OF ENERGY
 MECHANICAL ENERGY
1. KINETIC ENERGY
 Related to movement
2. POTENTIAL ENERGY
 Associated with position
 Gravitational Potential energy
 Elastic potential energy
FORMS OF ENERGY

 At the MICROSCOPIC level, ALL the

aforementioned forms of energy are
examples of kinetic or potential energy
Classification of Energy

1. Potential Energy
- can be viewed as “stored energy”
- energy due to the “tendency” of an
object to move

2. Kinetic Energy
- energy of motion
- energy of a moving object
FORMS OF ENERGY
 CHEMICAL ENERGY
 Potential energy associated with
molecular bonds
FORMS OF ENERGY
 NUCLEAR ENERGY
 Potential energy stored
in the bonds between
the constituents of the
nucleus
FORMS OF ENERGY
 RADIANT ENERGY
 May be loosely thought of as the
kinetic energy of electrons or other
charged entity
FORMS OF ENERGY
 THERMAL
ENERGY

 Kinetic energy of vibrating particles in

an object
FORMS OF ENERGY
 ELECTRICAL ENERGY
 Kinetic energy of moving charges
FORMS OF ENERGY
 SOUND
 Kinetic energy of moving particles
Primary Sources[1]

 where we get much needed energy

 COAL
 OIL CHEMICAL
 NATURAL GAS
 URANIUM – Nuclear
 SUN – radiant/solar
END USES[1]

 the ways in which we see energy being

used
 HEAT
 LIGHT
 MOTION
 ELECTRICITY
 CHEMICAL PROCESSES
Transformations
 Conversion of energy from primary
sources to end uses
1.Chemical
2.Heat
3.Motion
Transformations
 Conversion of energy from primary
sources to end uses

1.Nuclear
2.Heat
3.Motion
4.Electricity
Transformations
 Conversion of energy from primary
sources to end uses
1.Sunlight
2.Electricity
3.Motion

Ideal Situation
Transformations

Real Situation?
Transformations
 Conversion of energy from primary
sources to end uses
1.Chemical
2.Heat
3.Motion
How much chemical
energy is transformed to
“useful” heat? How
much heat is used to
make the piston move?
