What is Matter?

• Matter is anything that takes up space or has mass.

• Everything that is in this room is matter.–Desk, chairs, posters, folders, water, air

• There are four states of matter:–Solid–Liquid–Gas–Plasma

• All matter is made of atoms.

Page 4: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Energy

• Energy is the ability to do work on or cause change in matter.•Everything has energy!–It moves cars along the road–It’s the sound of footsteps–It’s the warming of your desktop when your hand touches it.

Energy and its Forms

• Energy is found in many different forms including:–chemical, electrical, heat/thermal, light, mechanical, nuclear, sound, etc.

• As you can see, there are many forms of energy, but they can all be put into two main categories:–Kinetic & Potential

Page 6: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Kinetic Energy

• Kinetic Energy- the energy of movement.–Example: A person jogging at a park.

• If something is in motion, it has kinetic energy.

• What has kinetic energy in these pictures?

Page 7: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Potential Energy

•An object still has energy even if its not moving.• Potential Energy- energy of position or stored energy–Ex. A glass of water sitting on the edge of a table. While sitting there it has stored energy because of its position.–If it is nudged, it can fall to the floor and has energy of motion.

Potential

Kinetic

Page 8: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Potential Energy• If something is not

currently in motion but has the potential to be in motion at some point, it has potential energy.• Which of these pictures

represents potential energy?

Page 9: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Potential Versus Kinetic Energy

• Think of all the forms of kinetic and potential energy you would see in the following situation: AT A PARK

Page 11: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Experiment: Does mass affect potential and kinetic

energy?• Think of the following situations:–Rolling a bowling ball down the alley versus rolling a volleyball down the alley.

–Two people of different weights racing down a hill on a sled.

Energy Lab7. Conclusion: Based on your results, write one of the following sentences.–Mass increases the amount of energy an object has

because the car with more mass went faster.–Mass decreases the amount of energy an object has

because the car with more mass went slower.–Mass had no effect on the amount of because both cars

went the same speed.Based on your results, write one of the following sentences.–Ramp height increases the amount of energy an object

has because the car went faster on the steeper ramp.–Ramp height decreases the amount of energy an object

has because the car went slower on the steeper ramp.–Ramp height had no effect on the amount of because

both cars went the same speed.

Self Check

• Do you understand kinetic versus potential energy? Answer the questions about the energy of the ball as it rolls from point A to point G.

Being held at point A (Not in motion)

Gaining speed Losing speed

Types of EnergyTypes of Energy

Page 18: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Mechanical Energy-Type of Kinetic and Potential Energy

(Both)•Definition: The amount of work an object can do because of its kinetic and potential energies.

•Example: A rolling bowling ball has __________ energy (one type of mechanical energy) and the stationary pins have __________ energy (another type of mechanical energy) When the ball strikes the pins, its energy is transferred to the pins. Now both the ball and the pins have __________ energy.

•Other information:

•Mechanical Energy= Kinetic + Potential Energy

•ALL MATTER HAS MECHANICAL ENERGY

Page 19: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Chemical Energy-Type of Potential Energy

• Definition: Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.

• Examples: Batteries (Power various objects, Petroleum (Fuels our cars), Natural gas (Fuels fireplace), Coal (Fuels factories), Wood (Fuels fire), Food (Provides energy for our bodies)

• Other Information:

THINK OF FUEL

• Chemical energy is converted to other forms of energy when we burn/use these things.

Page 20: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

• Definition: Nuclear energy is energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.

• Example: Occurs in nuclear power plants, atomic bomb, sun/stars

• Other information: Large amounts of energy can be released when the nuclei are combined or split apart.

Nuclear Energy-Type of Potential Energy

Page 21: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Electrical Energy-Type of Potential Energy

• Definition: Electrical energy is energy stored in moving electrons.

Thermal Energy-Type of Kinetic Energy

• Definition: Thermal energy is the vibration and movement of the atoms and molecules within a substance.

• Examples: Ice melting, water turning to steam, oven cooking food, etc.

• Other Information:

As an object is heated up, its atoms move faster and spread apart. As an object is cooled, its atoms move slower come closer together.

Energy Transformations

Page 32: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Can energy appear or disappear?

No! It just changes forms.

An energy transformation is when energy changes from one form to another.

Page 33: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Law of conservation of Energy

Energy is neither created nor destroyed.

In other words, energy is transformed from one type of energy to another, but the total amount of energy remains the same.

Page 34: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Examples of Energy Transformations

• When you speak into your telephone acoustic energy from your voice is changed into electrical or chemical energy. (A phone plugged into the wall uses electrical energy. A cell phone that is not plugged into the wall runs on chemical energy.) The energy is carried through telephone wires. It is then converted back into acoustic energy on another phone, allowing someone to hear you. The total amount of energy is constant throughout this process.

Page 35: 1 Energy Introduction. Energy What do you think of when you hear this word?

Examples of Energy Transformations

• To turn on a ceiling fan, you must use mechanical energy to flip on the switch. Then electrical energy is transferred back into mechanical energy and radiant energy (if the fan has a light). Again, the total amount of energy remains the same.
