• The two main types of energy we will need to be able to calculate are kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy

Kinetic Energy

Equation Units

KE = ½mv2

The Energy of Motion

KE = ½(mass)x(velocity)2

Joules (J)

kgm2/s2

If the object is moving it has Kinetic Energy Ask … “Is it moving?”

Potential Energy

“The Conservation of Energy”

The Conservation of Mechanical Energy

Kinetic and Potential Energy

To identify each type of Mechanical Energy ask the following questions:

• Kinetic Energy: (KE)– Is the object moving?

• Gravitational Potential Energy: (PEg)– Is the object above the ground?

• Elastic Potential Energy: (PEe)– Is a spring compressed or an elastic stretched out?

Note: Point 1 is the highest and Point 2 and 4 are “on the ground”

Look at the rollercoaster below.- Question 1 Identify if the rollercoaster car has Gravitational Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy or both at each point.

The Law of the Conservation of Mechanical Energy – Topic 15 states that Energy can convert

from one form to another form but in the absence of friction total ME stays same!

Conservation of Mechanical Energy

• In the absence of friction, in a closed system the total mechanical energy (sum of the potential and kinetic energy) remains constant.

Mechanical Energy is conserved when no dissipative forces are present.

Total mechanical energy stays the same as long as there is no friction!
