Even Chocolate Kangaroos Need To Grow More Ears
what is electrostatic energy?
energy stored by objects with an electric charge
what is chemical energy?
energy stored by chemical bonds
what is kinetic energy?
energy stored by moving objects
what is nuclear energy?
energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
what is thermal energy?
energy stored by objects because of their temperature
(hot objects have more energy than cold objects)
what is gravitational potential energy?
energy stored by objects that are lifted above the ground
what is magnetic energy?
energy stored between the north and south pole of magnetic objects
what is elastic potential energy?
energy stored by objects that are squashed or stretched
