Types of Energy Flashcards
1
Q
kinetic
A
amount of energy store depends on how fast the object is moving
2
Q
gravitational potential
A
amount of energy in the gravitational potential energy store depends on the height of the object.
3
Q
thermal
A
amount of energy in the thermal energy store depends on the temperature of the object.
4
Q
chemical
A
Transfer of energy from the chemical energy store occurs due to chemical reactions.
5
Q
elastic
A
amount of energy in the elastic energy store depends on the amount of extension or compression.
6
Q
nuclear
A
energy stored in the nucleus of the atom
7
Q
electrostatic
A
when repelling charges have been moved closer together when attracting forces have been moving apart
8
Q
magnetic
A
an energy form of moving charge carriers (electrons).
