energy

energy is transferred between energy stores

- energy is stored in the different energy stores of an object

• KINETIC- anything moving has energy in its kinetic energy store.

• THERMAL- all objects have energy in this store. The hotter the object, the more energy in the store.

• CHEMICAL- anything that can release energy by a chemical reaction has energy in this store, eg food.

• GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL- any object raised above ground level has energy in this store.

• ELASTIC POTENTIAL- anything stretched has energy in this store, like springs and rubber bands.

• ELECTROSTATIC- eg. two charges that attract or repel each other have energy in this store.

• MAGNETIC- eg. two magnets that attract or repel each other have energy in this store.

• NUCLEAR- the nucleus of an atom releases energy from this store in nuclear reactions.
