Energy Stores

Summer exam. (Good luck!)

Law of conservational energy

Energy can NOT be created or destroyed only transferred between energy stores

Energy store

when energy is captured and put into different types of energy. There are 8 different types.

GPE (gravitational potential energy)

The amount of energy it has depending on the height.

EPE (Elastic potential energy)

It is stored in stretched or squashed objects.

Kinetic energy

All moving objects or people have this. The faster it goes the more kinetic energy it has.

Thermal energy

Moving particles create heat. so thermal energy is caused by the movement of particles.

Chemical energy

The energy stored in food, fuel and batteries and between molecules.

Nuclear energy

The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.

Electrostatic

The energy stored within repelling charges.

Magnectic

When two magnets retract against each other

energy transfer definition

Energy can transfer from one store to another. Tare 4 different types.

Examples of energy transfers

• Mechanical

• Heating

• Radiation

• Electrical
