II. CONCEPT NOTES

Energy is the name of the game. Everything exists or cease to exist
because of its presence or absence. It is stored in different forms
and can transfer and/or transform. It can be transferred without
being transformed. It can also transfers.

Different forms of Mechanical energy.

You have learned in Grade 8 that mechanical energy falls in two categories: potential energy (stored energy of
position) and kinetic energy (energy of motion). By this time, we will show you the basic equations of potential and
kinetic energy.

Kinetic Energy KE = ½ mv2 and Potential Energy as PE = mgh

Where:
KE = kinetic energy m = mass of object v = Velocity of object
PE = potential energy g = acceleration due to gravity h = height difference

Energy Transformation:

The evidence and varied uses of the different energy forms are
everywhere. It flows causes change through heat and work. In the
illustrations simplifies that electrical energy transforms to light
energy and heat energy.

Another consideration of transformation is found at home. Such of them are plugging television sets which
electrical energy is converted to radiant, heat and sound energies. Another example is the process of photosynthesis
wherein the suns radiant energy is converted into chemical energy.

MECHANICAL ENERGY
Kinetic Energy is converted into potential Energy and then back to Kinetic Energy

The total mechanical energy of Lee Ben Fardest is the sum of the potential and kinetic energies. The two forms of energy sum up to
50 000 Joules. Notice also that the total mechanical energy of Lee Ben Fardest is a constant value throughout his motion. There are
conditions under which the total mechanical energy will be a constant value and conditions under which it will be a changing value.
This is the subject of Lesson 2 - the work-energy relationship. For now, merely remember that total mechanical energy is the energy
possessed by an object due to either its motion or its stored energy of position. The total amount of mechanical energy is merely the
sum of these two forms of energy. And finally, an object with mechanical energy is able to do work on another object.
