What are the two forms of energy?

Energy can be transferred from one form to another, from one object to another, or even from one place to another.

​

Energy Transfer

Energy can be transferred in many ways:

potential --> kinetic

​

kinetic --> potential

​

potential --> potential

​

kinetic --> kinetic​

Energy Transfer

What happens when you shoot a basketball? What are you exerting on the ball to give it energy?

When you shoot a basketball, you exert a force (push) on the ball to give it more energy.

Force

What happens when you shoot a basketball? What are you exerting on the ball to give it energy?

Energy can be transferred from one object to another by a force (by the objects pushing or pulling on each other).

A force can also transfer energy from one form to another.​

FORCE

​gravitational potential energy --> kinetic energy

kinetic energy --> elastic potential energy

elastic potential energy --> kinetic energy​​

​

Bungee Jumping

​gravitational potential energy --> kinetic energy (by the gravitational force on the person)

​

kinetic energy --> elastic potential energy

​

elastic potential energy --> kinetic energy​​ (by the forces between the moving person and the elastic bungee cord)

​

Bungee Jumping

​Electricity: The flow of electric charge through a conductor.

Electricity

Energy can be transferred from one place to another and from one form to another by electricity.

Electricity

Place transfer: power plant --> homes/schools

Electricity

Place transfer: power plant --> homes/schools

Form transfer: once it arrives, it can provide light and heat, power computers, play movies, spin and heat clothes in a clothes dryer, etc.​

What other ways can energy be transferred?

Other ways energy can be transferred examples

Light is how energy from the sun is transferred through space to Earth.

Sound is energy transfer through pressure waves in the air.

Heat is the flow of thermal energy.​
