Lektionsnotizen

Energy Stores Overview

  • Energy is not a physical thing we can see or touch.
  • Different objects store energy in different energy stores.
  • There are eight main energy stores: thermal, kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic potential, chemical, nuclear, magnetic potential, and electrostatic potential.

Thermal Energy Store

  • Any object with a temperature has a thermal energy store.
  • The higher the temperature, the more energy in the thermal store.
  • Examples: hot cup of tea, hot bath water, hot radiator.

Kinetic Energy Store

  • Any moving object has a kinetic energy store.
  • The faster the movement, the more energy in the kinetic store.
  • Examples: moving car, train, person walking or running.

Gravitational Potential Energy Store

  • Objects at a height above the ground have gravitational potential energy.
  • The larger the height, the more energy in this store.
  • Examples: book on a high shelf, bird on a high branch.

Elastic Potential Energy Store

  • Objects like springs or elastic bands stretched or compressed store elastic potential energy.
  • The greater the extension or compression, the larger the energy store.
  • Examples: stretched elastic band, spring, hair tie.

Chemical Energy Store

  • Different chemicals store energy in their chemical energy store.
  • Examples: food, fuel, batteries.

Nuclear Energy Store

  • Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is in the nuclear energy store.
  • Examples: uranium or plutonium fuel in nuclear power plants.

Magnetic and Electrostatic Potential Energy Stores

  • Magnetic potential: two magnets held close together store energy.
  • Electrostatic potential: charges close together (e.g., protons, electrons) store energy.
