4 of 19
Describe magnetic energy...
The energy stored when repelling poles have been pulled closer or attracting poles have been pulled further apart e.g: fridge magnets
5 of 19
Describe vibrational energy...
Energy of the particles in an object, in most cases this is the vibration of them e.g: light or sound
6 of 19
Describe chemical energy...
Energy which can be released in a chemical reaction e.g: combustion
7 of 19
Describe kinetic energy...
The energy of a moving object e.g: runner or buses or comets
8 of 19
Describe elastic potential energy...
Energy stored when objects are stretched or compressed e.g: springs or tights
9 of 19
Describe gravitational potential energy...
The energy of an object at height e.g: aeroplanes or kites
10 of 19
Describe nuclear energy...
The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom e.g: uranium
11 of 19
What is the law of conservation of energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed. Energy can be transferred from one form to another.

What is work?
Activity involving mental or physical effort
14 of 19
What is velocity?
The speed of something in a given direction
15 of 19
What is mass?
A large body of matter with no definite shape
16 of 19
What is the equation for Gravitational Potential Energy?
G.P.E = Mass x Gravity x Height/Distance
