Document Summary

Defined as the capacity to do work. All energy can be grouped into one of two different states: kinetic and potential. Kinetic: energy possessed by an object because it is in motion, waves in the ocean, a falling rock, kinetic energy of electricity (flow of electrons), motion of planets. Potential/chemical potential: stored energy: the energy an object has because of its location or chemical structure, a boulder at the top of a cliff has potential energy because of its position in the gravitational field of earth. The arrangement of atoms in a molecule of glucose has potential energy stored in the specific arrangement of atoms: chemical potential: energy associated with chemical bonds. System: object being studied, three types. Does not exchanged matter or energy with surroundings. Can exchange energy but not matter with surroundings. Both matter and energy can move freely between system and surroundings.
