This document discusses key concepts relating to energy, work, and power. It defines energy as the capacity to do work, outlines different types of energy including kinetic energy, potential energy, and internal energy. Kinetic energy is defined as energy from motion and is calculated using mass and speed. Potential energy is stored energy from gravitational or elastic forces, calculated using mass, gravity, and height. Internal energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy within a system's molecules. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating kinetic and potential energy. The learning outcomes are to apply concepts of energy, work, and power and perform simple energy analyses.

UNIT 4:
ENERGY, WORK & POWER
3.1 Energy - Kinetic Energy - Potential Energy - Internal Energy LEARNING OUTCOME
• Apply the concepts of energy, work and
power, and their importance in the study of physics and engineering
•Apply and perform simple energy analysis
ENERGY the capacity of a body to do work. It is a scalar quantity - SI unit is Joule. various types of energy; such as, kinetic energy, potential energy, internal energy and mechanical energy. Characterictics of energy: cannot be created or destroyed; can only be transformed, energy can be transferred from a system to another system ENERGY The total energy E is the sum of all forms of energy that can exist within the system such as thermal, mechanical, kinetic, potential, electric, magnetic etc. The discussion will focus on Kinetic Energy, Potential Energy and also on Internal Energy KINETIC ENERGY
A result of the system's motion relative to an
external reference frame; either in vertical or horizontal motion
1 2 Kinetic Energy, K . E . mv (J) 2 where m = mass of object v = speed of object KINETIC ENERGY
Lets try : Determine the kinetic energy of a 600-kg roller coaster car that is moving with a speed of 10.5 m/s
KE = 0.5*m*v2 KE = (0.5) * (600 kg) * (10.5 m/s)2 KE = 33.08 kJ POTENTIAL ENERGY
Energy that is stored caused by gravitational,
elastic or chemical processes The potential energy caused by gravitational acceleration is related to two variables, the mass of the object, m and the elevation, h. Potential Energy, P.E. mgh (J) POTENTIAL ENERGY Lets try :
A cart is loaded with a brick and pulled at constant
speed along an inclined plane to the height of a seat-top. If the mass of the loaded cart is 3.0 kg and the height of the seat top is 0.45 meters, then what is the potential energy of the loaded cart at the height of the seat-top?
PE = m*g*h PE = (3 kg ) * (9.8 m/s/s) * (0.45 m) PE = 13.23 J INTERNAL ENERGY
The energy of a material is made up of kinetic
components (movement of the particles) and potential components (interactions between particles) The internal energy, U is that energy associated with the molecular structure of a system and the degree of the molecular activity INTERNAL ENERGY INTERNAL ENERGY
Internal energy can be defined as the sum of all
the potential energy and all the kinetic energy of all the molecules of an object or a system. LETS REFRESH: NEXT LESSONS:
