A Because they all contain fossils. B Because they were once food sources for things that are now fossils. C Because they are derived from living matter of a previous geological age. D Because of their energy per unit of mass.

Is the spring clamp doing work on the papers?A YesB NoIf the spring clamp does not cause the paper to move, it is not acting through a distance and no work is done.5Power - Work per unit timePower defined“power is the amount of work done divided by the time it takes to do that work”power in Watts = work in Joules / time in secondsP = W / t6Question for ThoughtA kWhr isA a unit of workB a unit of energyC a unit of powerD More than one of the above is true.A kWhr is a unit of work, and since energy is the ability to do work, it is also a unit of energy. In terms of units, a watt is a joule per second, and an hour, as a second, is a unit of time. The time units cancel, leaving a unit of a joule, which can be used to measure either work or energy.7Kinetic EnergyDefinition“Kinetic energy equals the mass of the moving object times the square of that object’s speed, times the constant 1/2.”kinetic energy in Joules = 0.5 * mass in kilograms * speed in meters per second * speed in meters per secondK.E. = 0.5 * m * v28Question for ThoughtDoes a person standing motionless in the aisle of a moving bus have kinetic energy?A YesB NoRelative to the bus, the person has no kinetic energy because the person is at rest relative to the bus. Relative to the ground, however, the person does have kinetic energy because the person is moving with the same speed as the bus.9Potential EnergyDefinition“gravitational potential energy of any object equals its weight times its height above the ground”gravitational potential energy in Joules = mass in kilograms * acceleration due to gravity * height in metersP.E. = m * g * h10Question for ThoughtWhat happens to the kinetic energy of a falling book when the book hits the floor?A The kinetic energy is destroyed.B The kinetic energy is converted to heat only.C The kinetic energy is converted to heat and sound.11Mass as EnergyDefinition“every object at rest contains potential energy equivalent to the product of its mass times the speed of light squared”energy in joules = mass in kilograms * speed of light in meters per second * speed of light in meters per secondE = m * c212History of Energy UseEarly civilizations used human muscle power as their primary energy source.Energy provided by burning wood enabled people to cook food, heat living areas, and develop primitive metallurgy.Dense, rapidly growing settlements outstripped wood production, thus new fuel sources had to be utilized.•1890, coal replaced wood - primary energy source13Fossil Fuels Carboniferous period, (286-362 Mya)large deposits of plants, animals, and microorganisms. Led to the formation of fossil fuel deposits.14Industrial Revolution - 1875Industrial Revolution - Machines replaced human and animal labor in the manufacture and transportation of goods.Steam engines converting heat energy into forward motion was central to this transformation.Countries or regions without large coal deposits were consequently left behind.15Industrial RevolutionPrior to the Industrial Revolution, goods were manufactured on a small scale in private homes – master craftsmanExpanding factories = larger labor pools, move to city•200 years, energy consumption increased 8X–Increased levels of air pollution.16iClicker QuestionFossil fuels are derived from biological material producedA at the time of the industrial revolutionB about 300 million years agoC about 1 million years agoD
