    Conservation of Energy

    Uploaded by

    Vasu Ramlogan
    The document discusses energy, defining it as the ability to do work. It describes the different forms energy can take, including mechanical, heat, chemical, electrical, light, sound, nuclear and solar. Mechanical energy has two types - potential and kinetic. Potential energy is stored energy determined by an object's position, while kinetic energy allows for movement. The document also covers renewable and non-renewable energy sources and the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another through various processes and machines.

    Conservation of Energy

    Energy
    • Energy is the ability to do work
    • The SI unit of Energy is the Joule (J)
    • There are several forms of Energy:
    • Mechanical
    • Potential
    • Kinetic
    • Non-mechanical Energy
    • Heat
    • Chemical
    • Electrical
    • Light
    • Sound
    • Nuclear
    • Solar
    Mechanical Energy
    • Potential energy
    • Is stored energy
    • It is determined by the position of
    the object
    • There are various types of stored
    energy such as chemical,
    gravitational, elastic
    • Kinetic energy is responsible for
    movement
    • Kinetic energy is mainly associated
    with motion or physical movement
    Sources of Energy
    • Renewable or Non-Renewable
    Conservation of Energy
    • Energy is neither created or destroyed,
    it is converted (or transformed) from
    one form to another
    • Examples:
    • Photosynthesis
    • Fossil Fuels
    • Generator
    Turbines and Generators
    • It converts mechanical energy into electrical energy
    • Windmills, Water Turbines, Fossil fuels
    Energy Conservation
