Mechanical Energy and Its Types

The document discusses different types of energy including mechanical energy, potential energy, kinetic energy, and energy transformation. It defines mechanical energy as the energy an object has from its motion or potential for motion. Potential energy is described as the energy an object has due to its position or ability to perform work, such as a stretched rubber band or rock at the top of a cliff. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with an object's motion, like a moving bicycle. The document also discusses the law of conservation of energy and how energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Energy in matter due to arrangements of its parts, its composition, location
and structure. It is commonly considered as a stored energy having the
potential to do mechanical work.

1. Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE). Energy stored in an object’s


position.
2. Chemical Energy. Energy contained inside substances.
3. Elastic Energy. Energy contained in an stretched object.
4. Electrical Energy. Energy from the movement of electrically charged
particles.
5. Nuclear Energy. Energy obtained from the Fusion and Fission of
Nuclei of atoms.

B. Kinetic Energy
- Energy in moving matter and wave.

1.Motion. Energy from moving objects


2.Radiant. Energy from rays and waves
3. Sound. Energy from vibrations
4.thermal. Thermal energy is a form of kinetic
energy and is transferred as heat.

KE= ½ mv KE = Kinetic Energy
m = mass of the object
v = velocity of object

Transformation of Energy
• LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
• Definition: This states that energy can
change from one form to another, but it
cannot be created or destroyed.
• Important: When energy is used, it does
not disappear……it simply changes to
another form.
