- 1. Physics 1 Energy PPT. by, Robin D. Seamon
- 2. MOTION Position: the location of an object Direction : N, S, E, W Speed : distance over time (tells how fast it moved) EXAMPLE: the soccer ball moved 20m east. Did it move 20m in 2 sec? OR Did it move 20m in 2 min? Which is the slower speed?
- 3. How do you measure motion? Stopwatch Divide: distance time
- 4. QUESTIONS: What is the speed of the golf ball that moves 35 m in 5 sec? Why is a compass a useful tool to describe motion? How can motion be described?
- 5. FORCE & MOTION Force : a push or pull on an object The amount of force you apply, determines how fast the object will move If an object stops, speeds up, slows down, or changes direction, a force has been applied to it! EXAMPLES: gravity, lift, thrust, friction
- 6. EXAMPLE: Forces on a Shark Thrust Lift Drag : air/water resistance
- 7. Describe the force the weight lifter is exerting on the bar. Are the forces balanced or unbalanced? PRACTICE LINK PRACTICE Q’s

- 9. Energy & Machines Energy: the ability to do work (joules) (amt. of E to lift an apple 1m) Machine : something that replaces human effort Friction : the force that slows down or stops motion Gravity : the fore that pulls all objects on Earth toward the center of Earth (All objects have gravity; the larger the object, the stronger the gravitational pull)
- 10. Potential Energy : stored up Energy; energy ready to be used Kinetic Energy : energy of motion; WORKING Energy mv 2 2 M= mass kg; v= speed
- 11. FORMS of ENERGY: Thermal energy : energy from the rapid movement of molecules, causing heat- high temp to low temp -moves faster at high temp Mechanical energy : Energy of motion & position -stays the same unless transfers to another object
- 12. Electrical energy : energy from moving electrons in atoms (negative charge around atoms) Gravitational potential energy : potential energy an object has if it falls Elastic Potential energy : potential energy of an object as it is forced to change shape, but has the ability to return to its normal shape.
- 13. Chemical energy : energy from the interaction of molecules photosynthesis sugar forms by work of joining different atoms together in certain patterns: C 6 H 10 O 2 burning wood releases E as heat explosion rapid release of E Examples
- 14. Nuclear energy: energy that comes from changes in the nucleus of an atom Fission break apart (power plants) Fusion put together (sun) 100,000,000 °C: H joins to form He
- 15. Light energy : energy from light; vibrations of electrically charged particles (NOTE: do not need air to transmit… can transmit through a vacuum as photons) Sound energy : energy from sound waves; objects vibrate, transmitting some of the kinetic E to air around it, air particles vibrate & transmit E to your ear… YOU HEAR!
- 16. SIR ISAAC NEWTON: (1643-1727) Mathematician & astronomer NEWTON LINK BIOGRAPHY Newton’s 1 st law of Motion : objects remain still or in motion until another force is applied to it (law of inertia) Newton’s 2 nd law of Motion : acceleration happens when a force is acted on an object. The greater the mass of the object, the more force is needed to move it. (f=ma) Newton’s 3 rd law of Motion : for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction NEWTON LINK : explore the 3 laws http://www.mrdowling.com/601-newton.html

- 35. Energy Efficiency: Closed system : group of objects that only transfer E to each other. (not everything is a closed system) *In Conversion of E, some ALWAYS gets converted to thermal E (not lost!)
