Physics paper 1 Flashcards
Chemical store
energy stored as chemicals waiting to react
Kinetic store
energy stored in objects that move
Gravitational potential store
energy stored in objects raised up against the force of gravity
Elastic potential store
energy stored in an object that has to be stretched
Internal store
energy stored in the movement of particles. It is a combination of kinetic energy of the particles and the potential energy of particles that are apart from eachother
Nuclear store
energy stored in the nuclei of atoms that can fuse (nuclear fusion) or split (nuclear fission)
Magnetic store
energy stored in magnets that are attracting or repelling
Mechanical transfer
energy transferred when a force moves through a distance
Electrical transfer
energy transferred when a charge moves
Radiation transfer
energy transferred by electromagnetic radiation
Heat transfer
energy transferred when an object is heated
