Energy and Matter: One and the Same

• Energy is classified as either kinetic or potential.
• Kinetic Energy (KE) is energy associated with movement.
• KE = I/2 mv2
• Potential Energy (PE) is energy associated with storage.
• PE = mhg
• Energy can be converted from one form to another.
• Mechanical to chemical
• When matter undergoes a chemical or physical change, the amount of energy in the matter changes as well.
• Changes in matter, both physical and chemical, result in the matter either gaining or releasing energy.
