1. GET YOUR MASS AND WEIGHT

To calculate the weight, use the following general formula: W = mg. Here, “W” is
the weight of the object, “m” is the mass of the object, and “g” is the acceleration due
to gravity. On Earth, the value of g is 9.8 m / s2.
My mass = 50 kg Weight= mg
W=(50 kg )(9.8 m / s2 )
W= 490 N
Power is the rate at which work is done. It is the work/time ratio. Mathematically, it is
computed using the following equation.
Power = Work / time
or
P=W/t
The standard metric unit of power is the Watt. As is implied by the equation for
power, a unit of power is equivalent to a unit of work divided by a unit of time. Thus,
a Watt is equivalent to a Joule/second. For historical reasons, the horsepower is
occasionally used to describe the power delivered by a machine. One horsepower is
equivalent to approximately 750 Watts.
2. LIST THE FORMS OF ENERGY AND THEIR FUNCTIONS.

Energy is defined as the ability to do work. Energy comes in various forms.
Here are 10 common types of energy and examples of them.
 Mechanical Energy
Mechanical energy is energy that results from movement or the location of an object.
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.
Examples: An object possessing mechanical energy has both kinetic and potential
energy, although the energy of one of the forms may be equal to zero. A moving car
has kinetic energy. If you move the car up a mountain, it has kinetic and potential
energy. A book sitting on a table has potential energy.
 Thermal Energy
Thermal energy or heat energy reflects the temperature difference between two
systems.
Example: A cup of hot coffee has thermal energy. You generate heat and have
thermal energy with respect to your environment.
 Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is energy resulting from changes in the atomic nuclei or from nuclear
reactions.
Example: Nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, and nuclear decay are examples of nuclear
energy. An atomic detonation or power from a nuclear plant are specific examples of
this type of energy.
 Chemical Energy
Chemical energy results from chemical reactions between atoms or molecules. There
are different types of chemical energy, such as electrochemical energy and
chemiluminescence.
Example: A good example of chemical energy is an electrochemical cell or battery.
 Electromagnetic Energy
Electromagnetic energy (or radiant energy) is energy from light or electromagnetic

waves.
Example: Any form of light has electromagnetic energy, including parts of the
spectrum we can't see. Radio, gamma rays, x-rays, microwaves, and ultraviolet
light are some examples of electromagnetic energy.
 Sonic Energy
Sonic energy is the energy of sound waves. Sound waves travel through the air or
another medium.
Example: A sonic boom, a song played on a stereo, your voice.
 Gravitational Energy
Energy associated with gravity involves the attraction between two objects based on
their mass. It can serve as a basis for mechanical energy, such as the potential energy
of an object placed on a shelf or the kinetic energy of the Moon in orbit around the
Earth.
Example: Gravitational energy holds the atmosphere to the Earth.
 Kinetic Energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion of a body. It ranges from 0 to a positive value.
Example: An example is a child swinging on a swing. No matter whether the swing is

moving forward or backward, the value of the kinetic energy is never negative.
 Potential Energy
Potential energy is the energy of an object's position.
Example: When a child swinging on a swing reaches the top of the arc, she has
maximum potential energy. When she is closest to the ground, her potential energy is
at its minimum (0). Another example is throwing a ball into the air. At the highest
point, the potential energy is greatest. As the ball rises or falls it has a combination of
potential and kinetic energy.
 Ionization Energy
Ionization energy is the form of energy that binds electrons to the nucleus of its atom,
ion, or molecule.
Example: The first ionization energy of an atom is the energy needed to remove one
electron completely. The second ionization energy is energy to remove a second
electron and is greater than that required to remove the first electron.
3. SOURCES OF ENERGY
Sources of energy can be classified into:
 Renewable Sources
 Non-renewable Sources
Renewable sources of energy are available plentiful in nature and are
sustainable. These resources of energy can be naturally replenished and are safe
for the environment.
Examples of renewable sources of energy are: Solar energy, geothermal
energy, wind energy, biomass, hydro power and tidal energy.
A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that is found underneath the
earth. These type of energy resources do not replenish at the same speed at
which it is used. They take millions of years to replenish. The main examples
of non-renewable resources are coal, oil and natural gas.
Examples of non-renewable sources of energy are: Natural gas, coal,
petroleum, nuclear energy and hydrocarbon gas liquids.
TYPES OF ENERGY SOURCES

1. Solar Energy- is the energy of the sun that’s collected by solar panels and then
generated into electricity.
2. Wind Energy- The whole idea around this phenomenon is to use the power of the
wind to launch and turn large wind turbines that will power up the generator and
create electricity.
3. Geothermal Energy- is sustainable power created inside the ground we are
walking on. Radioactive partials beneath the earth’s crust are raising the temperature
in the ground.
4. Hydrogen Energy- Hydrogen is another source that can be used to provide our
homes with lights and heat, but it can also power rockets, ships, cars, and other
vehicles.
5. Tidal Energy- The energy created by the tide is quite unbelievable. It is based on
kinetic energy that follows incoming and outgoing tides that are converted into
electrical energy. Coastal areas are known as the best ones to use this sort of natural
source.
6. Wave Energy- The ocean turns out to be tremendous and has multiple sources of
energy. Besides tidal, there is also wave energy that is based on the movement under
the water surface.
7. Hydroelectric Energy- supplies electrical stations with electricity everyone can
use to power up their homes, machines , and vehicles.
8. Biomass Energy- Organic materials can be transformed into biomass energy that
can be used in many ways. We are talking about crops, trees, plants, wood chips, yard
clippings, and animal waste. All those things can generate power adequate for home
heating, and cooking or they can be used for fuel in industrial production.
9. Nuclear Power- This energy is usually used for generating heat through steam
turbines that create electricity in nuclear power plants. Nuclear power can be
generated by nuclear fusion, nuclear fission, and nuclear decay.
10. Fossil Fuels- These are the main sources of power in most parts of the world. Oil
can be transformed into several products, but the most popular is gasoline, while
natural gas, which is not so popular as coil and oil, is presented in the form of heating
sources and power that launches vehicles.
