Kinetic Energy Energy is needed to make something happen. In science, energy is the ability to cause change or do work. In general, there are two types of energy: potential energy and kinetic energy. Each type has many forms. The nucleus of an atom stores nuclear energy. Potential energy is stored energy. Four forms: Elastic energy Chemical Nuclear energy Gravitational potential energy energy When an object is above the Earth’s surface, it has … gravitational potential energy (GPE). The amount of GPE an object has depends on: 1) Mass More GPE The amount of GPE an object has depends on*: 1) Mass 2) Height Less GPE *It depends on the gravitational force too, but this force is about the same everywhere on earth. Which point does the girl have the most GPE? Where will the rollercoaster riders have the most gravitational potential energy? Where will the rollercoaster riders have the least gravitational potential energy? Who has the most GPE? What information do we need to know before answering this question? We need to know who has the most mass? Do the hamburger and matchstick have GPE? Yes. Any object above the Earth’s surface has GPE. Does a matchstick have other forms of energy stored in it? Where is it stored? The head of the match contains chemicals. Chemicals store a form of energy called CHEMICAL ENERGY. When the match is lit, the chemical energy is changed into other forms of energy such as. CHEMICAL Other forms ENERGY of energy Food also contains chemical energy. So what exactly is chemical energy? Chemical energy is a type of potential energy stored in the bonds between atoms. Food contains glucose. The energy stored in glucose is released in cellular respiration. Glucose C6H12O6 The SI (Systeme Internationale) unit for energy is the joule. Another common unit is the calorie. Eating food gives animals energy (the ability to do work). Without energy, we cannot run, walk and play. We cannot even breath! The chemical energy is changed into CHEMICAL many other ENERGY forms! All of these objects have stored chemical energy that can be released and used. This rubber band has stored up another type of potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy associated with motion. Large objects and small objects can have kinetic energy. Planets have kinetic energy Particles of matter do too! The more mass and speed an object has, the more kinetic energy it has. Which ball has the most kinetic energy? 1 or 2? A or B? A moving object is so small that it can not be seen. Does it have kinetic energy? There are special names for these forms of kinetic energy. 1) Electrical energy 2) Light energy 3) Sound energy 4) Heat energy Electrical energy is caused by the movement of electrons. Electrical energy is very commonly found. Can you find some examples in the classroom? A battery stores chemical energy (potential energy). When we use it, the energy is changed into electrical energy. What does the light bub do with the energy? Light energy is the energy that electromagnetic waves carry. We can see only some of these waves. Most of them Visible light cannot be seen. X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are also electromagnetic waves. The sun gives What is this process called? out light energy. Plants can change this light energy Glucose gets changed to chemical energy (stored in glucose). Sound energy is caused when an object vibrates. The vibrations cause waves to travel through the air or another material. We will study sound energy in detail later. Thermal energy (heat) is due to the movement of the particles in an object. What is an example Hotter objects have more thermal energy because their particles are moving faster.

  • Benefits and Challenges of Mechanical Spring Systems for Energy Storage Applications
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Energy Procedia 82 ( 2015 ) 805 – 810 ATI 2015 - 70th Conference of the ATI Engineering Association Benefits and challenges of mechanical spring systems for energy storage applications Federico Rossia, Beatrice Castellania*, Andrea Nicolinia aUniversity of Perugia, Department of Engineering, CIRIAF, Via G. Duranti 67, Perugia Abstract Storing the excess mechanical or electrical energy to use it at high demand time has great importance for applications at every scale because of irregularities of demand and supply. Energy storage in elastic deformations in the mechanical domain offers an alternative to the electrical, electrochemical, chemical, and thermal energy storage approaches studied in the recent years. The present paper aims at giving an overview of mechanical spring systems’ potential for energy storage applications. Part of the appeal of elastic energy storage is its ability to discharge quickly, enabling high power densities. This available amount of stored energy may be delivered not only to mechanical loads, but also to systems that convert it to drive an electrical load. Mechanical spring systems’ benefits and limits for storing macroscopic amounts of energy will be assessed and their integration with mechanical and electrical power devices will be discussed. ©© 2015 2015 The The Authors.

  • Mechanical Energy
    Chapter 2 Mechanical Energy Mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects and the forces that affect that motion. Mechanical energy is similarly any form of energy that’s directly associated with motion or with a force. Kinetic energy is one form of mechanical energy. In this course we’ll also deal with two other types of mechanical energy: gravitational energy,associated with the force of gravity,and elastic energy, associated with the force exerted by a spring or some other object that is stretched or compressed. In this chapter I’ll introduce the formulas for all three types of mechanical energy,starting with gravitational energy. Gravitational Energy An object’s gravitational energy depends on how high it is,and also on its weight. Specifically,the gravitational energy is the product of weight times height: Gravitational energy = (weight) × (height). (2.1) For example,if you lift a brick two feet off the ground,you’ve given it twice as much gravitational energy as if you lift it only one foot,because of the greater height. On the other hand,a brick has more gravitational energy than a marble lifted to the same height,because of the brick’s greater weight. Weight,in the scientific sense of the word,is a measure of the force that gravity exerts on an object,pulling it downward. Equivalently,the weight of an object is the amount of force that you must exert to hold the object up,balancing the downward force of gravity. Weight is not the same thing as mass,which is a measure of the amount of “stuff” in an object.

Marble conventional triaxial loading and unloading failure testing research is carried out to analyze the elastic strain energy and dissipated strain energy evolutionary characteristics of the marble deformation process. The study results show that the change rates of dissipated strain energy are essentially the same in compaction and elastic stages, while the change rate of dissipated strain energy in the plastic segment shows a linear increase, so that the maximum sharp point of the change rate of dissipated strain energy is the failure point. The change rate of dissipated strain energy will increase during unloading confining pressure, and a small sharp point of change rate of dissipated strain energy also appears at the unloading point. The damage variable is defined to analyze the change law of failure variable over strain. In the loading test, the damage variable growth rate is first rapid then slow as a gradual process, while in the unloading test, a sudden increase appears in the damage variable before reaching the rock peak strength.

  • The Relationship Between Energy Demand and Real GDP Growth Rate: the Role of Price Asymmetries and Spatial Externalities Within 34 Countries Across the Globe
    The relationship between energy demand and real GDP growth rate: the role of price asymmetries and spatial externalities within 34 countries across the globe Panagiotis Fotis a Hellenic Competition Commission Commissioner Sotiris Karkalakos b University of Piraeus and DePaul University Department of Economics Dimitrios Asteriou c Oxford Brookes University Department of Accounting, Finance and Economics Abstract The aim of this paper is to empirically explore the relationship between energy demand and real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and to investigate the role of asymmetries (price and GDP growth asymmetries) and regional externalities on Final Energy Consumption (FEC ) in 34 countries during the period from 2005 to 2013. The paper utilizes a Panel Generalized Method of Moments approach in order to analyse the effect of real GDP growth rate on FEC through an Error Correction Model (ECM) and spatial econometric techniques in order to examine clustered patterns of energy consumption. The results show that a) the demand is elastic both in the industrial and the household/services sectors, b) electricity and natural gas are demand substitutes, c) the relationship between real GDP growth rate and energy consumption exhibits an inverted U – shape, d) price (electricity and gas) and GDP growth asymmetries are supported from the employed parametric and non – parametric tests, and e) distance does not affect FEC, but economic neighbors have a strong positive effect.

  • What Is Elastic Potential Energy?
    What is Elastic Potential Energy? Elastic Potential Energy Elasticity is energy stored in something that has is the ability of a material or an object to elasticity. resume its normal shape after being compressed or stretched. Objects that can be stretched and compressed can hold elastic energy. The amount of elastic potential energy is determined by the extent to which the object can stretch or compress. The more you stretch or compress it the higher the elastic potential energy. Why does a ball bounce? A balls ability to bounce has to do with its elasticity. The elasticity of a ball is determined by its material. Its round shape guarantees an equal, uniform response – no matter on which point the ball hits the ground. What happens during a bounce? By lifting it up, the ball receives potential energy which is transformed into kinetic energy It pushes back on the when you drop it. ground and shoots back up into the air. When the ball hits Due to its elasticity the ground it quickly returns to it gets compressed. its original shape. For this experiment you will need: Different types of balls, e.g. a tennisball, golfball, marble, basketball… Tape measure Masking tape Pencil Instructions 1) Choose an area next to a wall or table where the ground is rather hard and flat. 2) Use the masking tape and the tape measure to mark different heights: 10’’, 15’’, 20’’, 25’’, 30’’ 3) Start with the first ball: Have a partner drop it from 30’’ DROP the ball – and record the height of the bounce in the Bounce Tracker below.
