Document Summary

Chem 130: general chemistry: macroscopic investigations and reaction principles - The potential or capacity to move matter. Therefore energy is not a material thing but a property of matter. Exists in different forms and can be interconverted. The si unit of energy is joule (j), which is equal to kg*m2/s2. A non-si unit of energy is calorie (cal) The energy associated with an object by virtue of its motion. The object of mass (m) and speed or velocity (v) has kinetic energy (ek) Since kinetic energy is dependent on both the object"s mass and speed, a heavy object will move more slowly than a light objects and still have the same kinetic energy. The energy of an object has by virtue of its position in a field of force. The mass, constant acceleration of gravity, and height of an object has potential energy (ep) The sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the particles making up substance.
