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.

Energy is transferred by heating from the hot coffee, to the mug, to the hands

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.

A moving car has energy in its kinetic store: Eₖ = ½ × m × v².

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.

Energy is transferred to an object's gravitational store as it is lifted through a height: ΔEp = mgΔh.

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.

In nuclear fission, a neutron strikes a target nucleus, which splits into two smaller nuclei and releases further neutrons

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.

## Energy Stores Energy is not a physical thing we can see or touch. Different objects store energy in different ways called **energy stores**. ### Types of Energy Stores - **Thermal**: Any object with a temperature. Higher temperature = more thermal energy. (e.g., hot cup of tea) - **Kinetic**: Any moving object. Faster movement = more kinetic energy. (e.g., a moving car) - **Gravitational potential**: Objects at a height above ground. Larger height = more gravitational potential energy. (e.g., book on a high shelf) - **Elastic potential**: Stretched or compressed objects (springs, elastic bands). Greater extension/compression = more elastic potential energy. (e.g., stretched elastic band) - **Chemical**: Stored in chemicals. (e.g., food, fuel, batteries) - **Nuclear**: Stored in the nucleus of an atom. (e.g., uranium in nuclear power plants) - **Magnetic potential**: Two magnets held close together. (e.g., two magnets near each other) - **Electrostatic potential**: Charges close together. (e.g., protons, electrons) ### Key Points - A stationary helicopter hovering has **gravitational potential** energy. - Moving forward adds **kinetic** energy. - A warm engine has increased **thermal** energy. - Fuel (kerosene) has **chemical** energy. - Falling decreases gravitational potential energy. - Accelerating increases kinetic energy. - Stretching a bungee cord increases **elastic potential** energy. - A battery has **chemical** energy. - Two charged particles have **electrostatic potential** energy. - Uranium fuel has **nuclear** energy. - A chocolate bar has **chemical** energy. - Two magnets near each other have **magnetic potential** energy.

Thermal energy store: Any object with a temperature has a thermal energy store. The higher the temperature, the more energy in the thermal energy store.
Kinetic energy store: Any object that is moving has a kinetic energy store. The faster the movement, the more energy in the kinetic energy store.
Gravitational potential energy store: Objects at a height above the ground have a gravitational potential energy store. The larger the height, the more energy in the gravitational potential energy store.
Elastic potential energy store: When objects such as a spring or elastic band are stretched or compressed they store elastic potential energy. The greater the extension or compression, the larger the elastic potential energy store.
Chemical energy store: Different chemicals store energy in their chemical energy store. Examples: food, fuel, batteries.
Nuclear energy store: Energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom is in the nuclear energy store. Examples: fuel in nuclear power plants (uranium or plutonium).
Magnetic potential energy store: When two magnets are held close together, they have a magnetic potential energy store.
Electrostatic potential energy store: When charges are close together, they have an electric potential energy store. Examples: protons, electrons, any charged particle.
