energy stores (physics)

Kinetic energy store

The energy stored in objects that are moving

Gravitational potential energy store

The energy stored in objects that are raised off the ground.

Chemical energy store

The energy stored in fuels like wood, methane gas or food.

Elastic potential energy store

The energy stored in objects that are stretched or squashed.

Magnetic potential energy store

The energy a magnetic object has when it is near a magnetic field.

Electrostatic potential energy store

The energy a charged object has when it is near another charged object.

Nuclear energy store

The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.

Thermal Energy Store

The energy stored in an object due to its temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the energy store.

Energy Transfer Pathways

This is how energy transfers from one store to another.
