What is Energy?
Matter takes up
space.
Potential energy
is stored
energy.
Kinetic energy
involves motion.
Conservation of energy
means it can change
forms between kinetic
and potential, but it
never disappears.The
total amount of energy is
always the same.

Mechanical Energy

Kinetic Energy

Speed in Knots
To calculate speed in
knots, a sailor would
simply count the number
of knots that passed by
as the line to the log was
let out.
Speedy
Transformations
Starting and stopping a
plane on the short deck
of a ship means a fast
conversion between
kinetic energy and
potential energy!
This is accomplished
with a catapult.
The people on a
ship also need
energy. Food
provides fuel for
people.
A galley is a ship’s
kitchen.
Transferring
Heat Energy
Heat energy raises the temperature of
matter. It makes it hotter. The atoms
move faster.
Conduction is a way
of transferring
heat through the
contact of objects.
Convection is heat
transfer through a
fluid with the
hotter molecules
rising and the
cooler ones sinking.
Radiation is heat
transfer through
space. The earth
is heated by
radiation from the
sun.
A calorie is a measure
of the amount of
energy. In food,
energy is measured in
thousands of calories
or kilocalories.
The electric
generators are
similar to the
steam engines
because they both
transform energy
into a useful form.
