6.1 The Various Forms And Sources Of
Energy

Kinetic Energy

Energy of a moving object

Nature of Energy
Energy
You

is all around you!

can hear energy as sound.


You can see energy as light.
And you can feel it as wind.

Nature of Energy

You use energy


when you:
hit

a softball.
lift your book.
compress a
spring.

Nature of Energy

Living organisms need


energy for growth and
movement.

Nature of Energy

Energy is involved
when:

a bird flies.
a bomb explodes.
rain falls from the
sky.
electricity flows in
a wire.

Nature of Energy

What is energy?
Energy can be defined as the
ability to do work.
If an object or organism does
work,
the object or organism uses
energy.

Nature of Energy

Energy

is measured in unit as:


joules (J).

Forms of Energy

Various forms of energy are:


Nuclear
Chemical
Potential

Stored energy

Kinetic
Electrical
Heat
Sound
Light

FORMS OF ENERGY

1) Chemical Energy
Energy

stored
in food, fuel
or batteries

2) Nuclear Energy

The energy
that is
released when
atoms are
broken down.

Eg: Hydrogen and


Uranium

3) Potential Energy

Energy stored in object because of


its position or condition.
Stretching a rubber band.
An apple waiting to fall
Pulling back on a bows arrow.
Lifting a brick high in the air.

Gravitational Potential Energy

Potential energy
that is dependent
on height is called
gravitational
potential energy.

Potential Energy

Energy that is stored due to being


stretched or compressed is called
elastic potential energy.

4) Kinetic Energy

The energy of motion is called


kinetic energy.
The faster an object moves, the
more kinetic energy it has.
Eg: A turning fan

5) Electrical energy

Energy produced by flow of electrical


charges (electric current).

Examples
i.

Dynamos

ii.

Lightning

iii.

Power stations

iv.

Batteries or dry cells

v.

Solar cells

6) Sound energy

Energy produced by a vibrating object.

Examples
i.

Beating a drum

ii.

Ringing a bell

iii.

Thunder

iv.

Whistling birds

v.

Singing a song

7) Light energy

Energy from an object that emits light

Examples
i.

Lightning

ii.

Fire

iii.

Lighted candle

iv.

Fire flies

v.

Torch

vi.

Lighted lamps

8) Heat energy

Energy stored in a hot object.

Energy that can raise the temperature of an object.

Examples
i.

Burning object

v.

Boiling water

ii.

Lighted match sticks

vi.

Hot iron

iii.

Energy Can Be Transformed


Electrical energy is
transferred from the wall
socket to the computer.
Electrical energy is
transformed to sound and
light energy when the
computer is turned on.
Electrical energy is
transformed to heat energy
when the computer stays
on.

Energy Can Be Transformed


Electrical energy is
transferred from the wall
socket to the curling iron.
Electrical energy is
transformed to heat energy
when the curling iron stays
on.
Heat energy is transferred
to the hair that is being
curled.

Energy Can Be Transformed


Light energy from the sun is
transformed to chemical
energy as the plants grow.
Chemical energy is
transformed to heat and
kinetic energy as the panda
eats the bamboo leaves.

Energy Can Be Transformed


The apple on the tree has
potential energy due to its
position.
Potential energy is
transformed into kinetic
energy as the apple falls
and hits the mans head.

Energy Can Be Transformed


Gasoline is a chemical
energy. When gasoline is
transferred into the car, a
transformation occurs.
Transformations within this
system include:
Heat energy
Electrical energy
Sound energy
Kinetic energy
Light energy
