changes in energy stores

Question 1

in which ways can energy be stored

Answer 1

energy can be stored in chemical, kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic potential and thermal energy stores

Question 2

how can energy be transferred

Answer 2

energy can be transferred from one store to another

Question 3

what happens to the energy in an object when the object falls

Answer 3

When an object falls and gains speed, its store of gravitational potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy store increases.

Question 4

how does energy transfer when a falling object hits the ground without bouncing back up

Answer 4

When a falling object hits the ground without bouncing back, its kinetic energy store decreases. Some or all of its energy is transferred to the surroundings - the thermal energy store of the surroundings increases, and energy is also transferred by
