Energy Stores Flashcards
Name the 8 energy stores
- thermal
- gravitational potential energy (GPE)
- elastic potential energy (EPE)
- magnetic
- chemical
- electrostatic
- nuclear
- kinetic
Name the 4 ways energy can be transferred
- mechanically
- electrically
- through heating via infrared radiation
- via light or sound waves
What is magnetic energy store
The energy stored when repelling magnetic poles are pushed closer together or when attracting magnetic poles are pulled farther apart.
What is thermal energy store?
The thermal energy store refers to how much energy a substance has, it includes 2 energy stores
1) the kinetic energy store
2) the potential energy store
What is chemical energy store?
The energy stored in chemical bonds, such as those between atoms.
What is kinetic energy store?
The energy an object possesses due to its motion.
What is GPE?
The energy an object has due to its height in a gravitational field.
What is electrostatic energy store?
The energy stored when repelling charges have been moved closer together or when attracting charges have been pulled further apart.
What is elastic potential energy (EPE) store?
The energy stored when an object is stretched or squashed.
What is nuclear energy store?
The energy stored in the nucleus released during fission or fission reactions
What is kinetic energy store?
The energy stored in anything that moves
