    What is energy

    • Energy  – The ability to do work • Energy is the power to change things.

    • It is the ability to do work.

    • Energy is used for lighting, powers vehicles and

    runs machinery in factories.• Energy warms and cools homes, cooks our food,

    plays music, and gives pictures on television.

    • Joule - A unit of energy. One joule equals 0.2388calories

    Energy is that "certain something" inside matter that

    brings about some change.

    Nature of energy

    • What is energy that it can be involved in so

    many different activities?

     – If an object or organism does work (exerts a

    force over a distance to move an object) the

    object or organism uses energy.

    Energy and Work

    • Because of the direct connectionbetween energy and work, energy ismeasured in the same unit as work: joules (J).

    • In addition to using energy to do work,

    objects gain energy because work isbeing done on them.

    Energy forms

    The five main forms of energy are:

     –Heat ?

     –Chemical

     –Electromagnetic

     –Nuclear

     –Mechanical

    Energy Conversion

    • Energy can be changed from one form to

    another.

    • Changes in the form of energy are called

    energy conversions.

    Conversion

    All forms of energy can be converted into other forms. – The sun’s energy through solar cells can be converted directly into

    electricity.

     – Green plants convert the sun’s energy (electromagnetic) into starchesand sugars (chemical energy).

     – In an automobile engine, fuel is burned to convert chemical energy intoheat energy. The heat energy is then changed into mechanical energy.

     – Chemical HeatMechanical – In an electric motor, electromagnetic energy is converted to mechanical

    energy.

     – In a battery, chemical energy is converted into electromagnetic energy.

     – The mechanical energy of a waterfall is converted to electrical energy ina generator.

    States of Energy

    • The most common energy conversion is the

    conversion between potential and kinetic

    energy.

    • All forms of energy can be in either of two

    states:

     – Potential - stored energy

     – Kinetic - the energy of motion.

    STATES OF ENERGY

    1. Kinetic - The energy of motion,

    when energy is being

    transferred.

    The faster the motion, the more kinetic

    energy it has. The bigger the mass, the moreKinetic energy it has.

    Depends on mass and velocity

    Increase Mass Increase K.E.

    Increase Velocity Increase K.E.

    Why would a high speed collision

    cause more damage than a lowspeed collision?

    Kinetic Energy

    • The faster an object moves, the more kineticenergy it has.

    • The greater the mass of a moving object, themore kinetic energy it has.

    • Kinetic energy depends on both mass and

    velocity.

    • What has a greater affect of kinetic energy,

    mass or velocity?

    2. Potential -Stored Energy or energy

    that is waiting to be

    transferred.

    STATES OF ENERGY

    -Object is not moving or doing work.

    BUT… the shape or position of the object

    can change the amount of potential energy. 

    -When work is done on an object,

     potential energy is stored.

    -Has the ability to turn into kinetic energy.

    Potential Energy• Potential Energy is stored energy.

     – Stored chemically in fuel, the nucleus of atom,and in foods.

     – stored because of the work done on it:

    • Stretching a rubber band.

    • Winding a watch.

    • Pulling back on a bow’s arrow. 

    • Lifting a brick high in the air.

    • Potential energy that is dependent on height iscalled gravitational potential energy.

    the burning of the fossil fuels coal and gas.

    • Once they have been burned

    we cannot replace them.

    Electricity Generation fromFossil Fuels

    • The first stage in generating electricity from coal or oil is to burn it.

    • Energy is transferred and used to heat water and produce steam.

    • The steam drives steam turbines

    • Steam turbine drives generators

    • generators produce electricity.

    Non-renewable energy resources will eventually run out.

    Problems with fossil fuels• They are non-renewable and one day we may run out of them.

    • They produce CO2 when burnt.

    • CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

    • It contributes to global warming.

    • Natural gas produces much less carbon dioxide.

    • Nuclear power produces NO carbon dioxide.

    • They often contain sulphur.

    • Sulphur is released as sulphur dioxide, SO2 , when the fuel is burnt.

    • This is very acidic and causes acid rain-acid rain – Rainwater that is more

    acidic than normal due to the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides

    into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.

    •  Acid rain can be avoided in two ways.• Removing the sulphur from the fuel

    • Removing SO2 from the power station’s waste gases. 

    • Both these options are expensive and add considerably to the cost of

    producing electricity.

    fossil fuels in power stations to generate electricity?

    It also contains plutonium, which

    is a highly-radioactive product of

    the fission reactions that occur in

    uranium nuclear fuel.

    Problems with nuclear waste

    However, plutonium is also used in the construction of

    nuclear bombs and poses a very serious threat if it gets

    into the wrong hands.

    Nuclear power stations produce radioactive waste.

    The used nuclear fuel contains some

    uranium, which can be separated

    from the waste and reused.

    Other Harmful Effects acid rain  – Rainwater that is more acidic than

    normal due to the release of sulfur dioxide andnitrogen oxides into the atmosphere by burningfossil fuels. 

    global warming – The increase in thetemperature of the Earth, which some scientiststhink is causing climate change.

    greenhouse effect  – The trapping of heat fromthe Sun by certain gases in the Earth’satmosphere.

    greenhouse gas –  A gas, such as carbon dioxide,that can trap heat from the Sun in the Earth’satmosphere.

    Solar Energy Generation

    Wind Energy• Abundant

    • Free of Cost

    • Un exhaustible

    • doesn’t require fuel 

    • doesn’t create greenhouse gasses, toxic or radioactive waste 

    • does not present any significant hazard to wildlife

    • small land area is required

    • Landowners often receive payment for the use of their land,

    which enhances their income and increases the value of the

    land

    • Each megawatt-hour of electricity generated by wind energy

    helps to reduce 0.8 to 0.9 tones of greenhouse gas emissions that

    are produced by coal or diesel fuel generation each year.http://www.pmd.gov.pk/wind/Wind_Project_files/Page767.html

    Pakistan is a wind corridor for

    India and they are using it more

    efficiently for the generation of

    Electricity

    Geothermal power generation• Energy from Earth’s heat.

    • In some volcanic areas hotwater and steam rise to thesurface.

    • The steam can be tapped andused to drive turbines.

    Power Generation from Biomass• The biomass resource can be considered as organic matter, in

    which the energy of sunlight is stored in chemical bonds.

    • When the bonds between adjacent carbon, hydrogen andoxygen molecules are broken by digestion, combustion, ordecomposition, these substances release their stored chemicalenergy.

    • woody plants,

    • herbaceous plants/grasses,

    • aquatic plants,• Manures(fertilizers, feeds)
