P1.1 - Changes in Energy Stores Flashcards
Where would you find Kinetic Energy?
Wind Turbines
Where would you find Gravitational potential energy?
When an object is lifted above the ground
Where would you find electical energy?
Fossil fuels like coal can be used to produce steam for a generator
Where woul you find heat energy?
Solar Panels or the Sun assist with thermal/heat energy stores
Where would you find Sound energy
Vibrations can assist with sound by vibrating through a medium
Where would you find chemical energy
Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas are prime examples
Where would you find nuclear power
Nuclear Power Plants and Nuclear waste
