Anything that has a mass and is inside a gravitational field has this store.
Gravitational potential
Anything that is stretched or compressed.
Elastic potential
Anything with electric charge that is interacting with another electric charge.
Electrostatic
Anything magnetic has this store.
Magnetic
Atomic nuclei have energy in this store that can be released in nuclear reactions.
Nuclear
What happens to falling objects when there’s no air resistance?
Energy lost from gpe=energy gained in kinetic energy store
