Energy stores and pathways. Flashcards
Chemical potential
The energy store is associated with chemical bonds,such as those between molecules
Battery,food,molecules
Gravitational potential energy
The energy associated with an object at height
Kite,satellite
Kinetic
The energy associated with a moving object
A human,car wheels
Thermal
Often asssociated with the vibrations of particles in the object,objects that are hotter have faster moving particles.
food that has been boiled,radiator
Vibrational
The energy associated with oscillating object or particles.
microwave,guitar strings.
Elastic
The energy stored when an object is stretched,squashed or twisted.
Elastic band,blue tac
Nuclear
The energy associated with nuclear interactions
Nuclear bomb
Electro magnetic
The energy stored when charges or magnets are pushed or pulled.
magnet,iron,steel
