Explanation:
Renewable and non-renewable sources are where we get our energy from but what types of energy do we find in the world?
All energy can be placed into two main groups:
Potential energy
Kinetic energy
So what are these different types of energy and what does it mean if an object has potential energy or kinetic energy? Let's investigate!
Potential energy
joule
potential energy
system
Throughout our investigation and learning about the concepts surrounding energy, we will be talking about systems and how energy is transferred within a system. A system is a set of parts that work together as a whole. A change in one part of the system will affect the other parts. This will become more clear as we see some examples throughout this term.
We are going to find the difference between potential and kinetic energy. Look at the following diagram which shows a ramp with a marble rolling down into a foam cup. The marble will knock the cup and make it move.
A marble rolling down a ramp.
When the marble is released, it rolls down the ramp and transfers some of its energy to the cup. This transfer of energy is what makes the cup move. But where did the marble get energy from? Do you think you can make the cup move more or less depending on how far up the ramp you start the marble? Let's do an investigation to find out.
