ENERGY

The ability to do work. No energy. No Work

POTENTIAL ENERGY
Stored energy
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
•an object has gravitational potential
energy as the result of its position
relative to the ground.
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
•The energy stored in the object as a
result of its position from the ground
ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY
•The stored energy is drawn
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
1. Determine the amount of GPE of
a 1.5 kg book that is moved to
three different shelves. The heights
of the shelves are 2.0 m, 2.5 m, and
3.0m.
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
2. A 7-kg box is lifted from the
garage floor and is placed on
top of a cabinet. If the box gains
150 J of GPE, how high is the
shelf?
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
3. Compute the mass of a
man who climbs a wall that
is 4m high and gains 2500 J
of GPE.
KINETIC ENERGY
•Energy of motion
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
1. What is the kinetic energy
of 200 kg roller coaster car
that is moving with a speed
of 12.0 m/s?
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
2. Mickey, a 60 kg man is a platform
diver at the Ocean park. If the
kinetic energy of Mickey right
before he hits the pool of water is
5000J what is his speed?
