LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.7.1 Energy Core • Identify changes in kinetic, gravitational potential, chemical, elastic (strain), nuclear and internal energy that have occurred as a result of an event or process • Recognise that energy is transferred during events and processes, including examples of transfer by forces (mechanical working), by electrical currents (electrical working), by heating and by waves • Apply the principle of conservation of energy to simple examples Supplement • Recall and use the expressions kinetic energy = ½mv2 and change in gravitational potential energy = mg∆h • Apply the principle of conservation of energy to examples involving multiple stages • Explain that in any event or process the energy tends to become more spread out among the objects and surroundings (dissipated)

- 7. Work, work, work …… When a force moves an object it does work and energy is transferred to the object. The man shovelling is doing work. If he does 600J of work, then he loses 600J of energy. The substance being shovelled gains energy - but not the full 600J, as some is lost as sound and heat.
- 8. Work • Work is done whenever a force makes something move.
- 9. Work • Work is done whenever a force makes something move. • The greater the force, and the greater the distance moved, the more work is done.
- 10. Work • Work is done whenever a force makes something move. • The greater the force, and the greater the distance moved, the more work is done. • When work is done energy is transferred from one form into another.
- 11. Work Work done = force x distance W = F x d Work is measured in Joules
- 12. Work Work done = force x distance Eg. if a 4 N force moves a distance of 3m W = 4 x 3 = 12 J

- 28. Types of energy…… Gravitational Potential Energy Kinetic energy
- 29. Potential Energy • Potential energy is the energy due to height. • Potential energy (PE) = mass x g x height • (g is the gravitational constant = 10 m/s2)
- 30. Potential Energy • Eg. A sheep of mass 47kg is slowly raised through a height of 6.3m. Find the gain in potential energy. • PE = mgh = 47 x 10 x 6.3 = 2961J • As an object falls, its potential energy is changed into kinetic energy. • Kinetic energy GAINED = Potential energy LOST
- 31. Kinetic Energy • Kinetic energy is the energy of movement. • Anything moving has kinetic energy. • Kinetic energy (KE) = ½ x mass x velocity2 • Or KE = ½ x mass x velocity x velocity
- 32. Kinetic Energy • Eg. A car of mass 2450kg is travelling at 38m/s. Calculate its kinetic energy. • KE = ½ x 2450 x 382 = 1,768,900J • KE depends upon mass and speed, so a larger object travelling at greater speed has a bigger KE.
- 33. Types of energy…… Let’s have a look at a more challenging calculation involving GPE and KE
- 34. Eg. A mouldy tomato of mass 140g is dropped from a height of 1.7m. Calculate its speed as it hits the floor. 1. PE lost = mgh = 0.14 x 10 x 1.7 = 2.38 J 2. So KE gained = PE lost = 2.38 J = ½ mv2 3. So, 2.38 = ½ x 0.14 x v2 = 0.07 x v2 4. So, 2.38 = v2 0.07 5. So, 34 = v2 ; v = 5.38 m/s
- 35. Energy transfer
- 36. Energy transfer Energy is transferred from cells and other sources
- 37. Energy transfer Energy is transferred from cells and other sources Anything that supplies electricity is also supplying energy. So cells, batteries, generators, etc. all transfer energy to the charge in the wire, which then transfers it to the components or devices in the circuit:

- 44. Describe the energy changes taking place in a roller coaster ride.
- 45. As it travels around the track, energy changes from GPE to KE and back again
- 46. Total energy at any one time = KE + GPE
- 47. When there are no resistive forces, total energy remains constant.
- 48. This is known as the principle of conservation of energy.
- 49. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but only changed from one form into another.
- 50. Usually, some energy is used up doing work against friction and air resistance lost as heat.
