Kinetic and Potential Energy
P.EN.06.11 - Identify kinetic or potential energy in everyday situations (for example: stretched rubber band, objects in motion, ball on a hill, food energy).
P.EN.06.12 - Demonstrate the transformation between potential and kinetic energy in simple mechanical systems (for example: roller coasters, pendulums).
P.EN.06.12 - Demonstrate the transformation between potential and kinetic energy in simple mechanical systems (for example: roller coasters, pendulums).
Energy is the ability to do work.
Potential energy is stored energy.
Potential energy is stored energy.
- Gravitational Potential Energy is the potential energy that an object has because of its position relative to a baseline or to the ground.
- Elastic Potential Energy is the potential energy that an object has because of how tight an object is compared to its normal (relaxed) position.
- Mechanical Energy is the type of energy associated with the position and movement of an object.
- Chemical energy is the type of energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
- Thermal Energy is the type of energy created when bonds of atoms are broken down and used as heat.
- Electrical energy is energy that comes from charged particles.
- Nuclear energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom.
- Electromagnetic Energy is the type of energy associated when heat energy travels through waves.
