Energy
• Energy is the ability to do work or transfer heat.
– Energy used to cause an object that has mass to move is called work. – Energy used to cause the temperature of an object to rise is called heat.

Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is energy an object possesses by virtue of its motion: 1 Ek = mv2 2

Potential Energy
• Potential energy is energy an object possesses by virtue of its position or chemical composition. • The most important form of potential energy in molecules is electrostatic potential energy, Eel: KQ1Q2 Eel = d

Units of Energy
• The SI unit of energy is the joule (J): kg m2 1 J = 1 s2 • An older, non-SI unit is still in widespread use: the calorie (cal): 1 cal = 4.184 J

Definitions: System and Surroundings
• The system includes the molecules we want to study (here, the hydrogen and oxygen molecules). • The surroundings are everything else (here, the cylinder and piston).

Definitions: Work
• Energy used to move an object over some distance is work: • w=Fd where w is work, F is the force, and d is the distance over which the force is exerted.

Heat
• Energy can also be transferred as heat. • Heat flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.

Conversion of Energy
• Energy can be converted from one type to another. • For example, the cyclist in Figure 5.2 has potential energy as she sits on top of the hill.
