Types and kinetic theory of matter

Type 1: State as many words as you can which comes to your mind when you hear
the word energy (allocated time: 1 minute)
It is the ability to do work and exists in many different forms.
It is measured in Joule (J)
Example:
The petrol in a motorbike has chemical energy. Through combustion, the petrol has the
potential to do work by producing movement.
Types How does we use it
Chemical energy (food) Work and play
Radiation (light) Photosynthesis
Heat (thermal) Cooking
Your turn- identify four different types and how we use it
 Kinetic energy is the energy which a body possesses because of its motion.
Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due of its position or its
configuration.

 Particles of matter are in constant motion.
The kinetic energy of particles of matter determines the state of matter.
Particles of solids have the least kinetic energy and particles of gases have the
most.
Thermal energy (Heat)
Form of energy
Measured in Joule (J)
Transfer from hot to cold
Depends on the mass of the
substance
Tempeature
Measure of hotness of object
Measure in Celsius (C)
Increases when the movement of
particle increases
Doesnt depend on the quantity

Answer the following
Using diagram predict what will happen to the water in the bottle when the heat is
on
What makes you think that?

Animation : compare your prediction with the observation and answer the following
How does heat energy affect water?
What is your evidence?
 What will happen to the temperature of the two bottles receiving heat energy? Which
bottle do you predict will heat up faster?
Using a diagram show how water molecules will behave differently than air molecules
when heat energy is added? What makes you think that?

Animation : compare your prediction with the observation and answer the following
Why did the water heat up more slowly than the air?
Draw graph showing the relationship between height and GPE for an object of constant
mass (in this case 5 kg)
Height: h (m) 2 4 6 8
Gravitational potential energy: GPE (J) 98 196 294 392

Describe how GPE changes for a fixed mass as it is raised to increasing heights above the
ground
Analyse the the data below and identify how mass and height affect the changes in GPE

Mass: m (kg) 5 10 20 40
Height: h (m) 8 4 2 1
Gravitational potential energy: GPE (J) 392 392 392 392
Type 2: (allocated time 4 minutes)
1. A swimming pool at 30 is at a lower temperature than a cup of tea at 80 . Which
one will have more thermal energy (heat)?
2. Explain in terms of any energy changes that are occurring why the water at the
bottom of a waterfall is slightly warmer than the water at the top of the waterfall
