 Energy dissipated Rule of Energy Conservation

Energy In = Energy Out
Energy is neither created nor destroyed but it is
transformed from one form to another

 Energy Calculations
1- 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 2 - Gravitational Potential Energy = mgh (J)
𝑢𝑠𝑒𝑓𝑢𝑙 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑝𝑢𝑡
= 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑝𝑢𝑡
× 100 where; m: mass (kg)

Example g: acceleration due to gravity (m/s²)

Calculate efficiency of Energy-efficient Lamp h: height (m)
mg: force (mass × acceleration) (N)

GPE: Is the energy an object has due to its

position above above earth / Energy due to an object

height.

Worked Example 6.1 - Another Solution

Givens: m = 50kg , h1 = 400m , h2 = 1200m
Answer: gpe1 = mgh1 = 50 × 10× 400 = 200,000 J
15
𝐸𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 = × 100 = 60% gpe2 = mgh2 = 50 × 10 × 1200 = 600,000 J
25
∴ gpe = gpe2 – gpe1 = 600,000 – 200,000
= 400,000 J = 400 KJ

3 – Kinetic Energy = 𝒎𝒗² (Joules or J) 4 – Work = Force × Distance moved in the direction
𝟐
where; m: mass (kg) of the force
v: speed (m/s) Work = Energy Transferred = Change in Energy

K.E : is an energy an object has due to its motion. Work: is using a force to move an object through a distance.
