energy stores Flashcards
thermal
any object, hotter it is, more energy it has
kinetic
anything moving, has energy in the store
gravitational potential
anything in a gravitational field
elastic potential
anything stretched,
chemcial
anything that can release energy, by chemical reaction
Magnetic
2 magnets that attract and repel
electrostatic
2 charges that attract and repel
nuclear
atomic nuclei release energy from this store
movement
anything moving has energy in kinetic energy store. energy is transferred when object speeds up, transferred away when slows down.
This depends on mass and speed. greater mass, and faster, more energy there will be.
Formula is:
KE=1/2 x M x v2
raised objects
lifting object in gravitational field causes transfer of enerfy to energy store of raised object. higher object, more energy transferred.
change in gravational potential energy= m x g x change in height.
principle of energy
energy can be stored, transferred between stores, and dissipated, but never be created or destroyed.
closed system
closed system is a system that can be treated completely on its own. total energy of closed system has no net change.
mechanically
force acting on object,
electrically
change doing work
by heating
energy transferred from hotter to colder object
