Potential energy stores

Kinetic energy:

.

Energy is transferred when an object speeds up and is transfered away when an object slows down.

Gravitational Potential energy:

.

When an object is raised energy is transfered into the GPE store. When the object goes down GPE energy is lost.

Elastic Potential Energy:

.

Stretching an object increases its elastic potential energy. It can only stretch to a certain length but as long as that length has…
