Joules

Question 3

Name examples of a chemical energy store

Answer 3

Batteries or food

Question 4

Name examples of gravitational energy store

Answer 4

Any object that can fall like a ball being thrown

Question 5

An example of a kinetic energy store

Answer 5

Any object that is moving like a human running

Question 6

Magnetic field

Question 11

An example of an electrical energy store

Answer 11

Electric field

Question 12

What are the ways energy can be transferred

Answer 12

Light, sound, heating, work done and electric current

Question 13

An example of an energy transfer

Answer 13

A ball being thrown up, it goes from kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy and then as it hits the ground it goes back into kinetic energy again

Question 14

Another example of an energy transfer

Answer 14

A moving object hitting an obstacle, it goes from kinetic energy into thermal energy and vibrational energy
