- Physics (Energy)
- Kinetic Energy
- The energy of a moving object
- The Energy in its kinetic energy store depends on the objects mass and speed.
- K.E = 1/2MV
- Gravitational Potential Energy
- G.P.E is the energy stored in raised objects
- The higher the object is lifted the more energy is transferred to this store
- G.P.E= Mass x Gravitational Field Strength x Height
- Fallen Objects
- When something falls, energy from its G.P.E energy store is transferred to its Kinetic Energy Store.
- When there's no air resistance;- Energy lost from G.P.E Store= Energy gained in the kinetic energy store
- Elastic Potential Energy
- The energy transferred when stretching or squashing an object,
- So long as the limit of proportionality hasn't been exceeded - E.P.E= 1/2 x K x E
- Thermal Energy
- The heat given off.
- Chemical Energy
- Energy stored in food, fuels and batteries
- Magnetic Energy
- Electrostatic Energy
- Energy in moving charges or static electric charges
- Nuclear Energy
- Energy stored in the Nuclei of Atoms
- Kinetic Energy
