Energy Stores and Systems

• State the energy stores

  kinetic, elastic potential, thermal, nuclear, chemical and gravitational potential
• Describe the energy transfers that occur as a ball falls to the group

  Gravitational potential —> Kinetic
• If energy is tranfered to an object‘s kinetic energy store, what happens to its speed?


  Increases
• What kind of energy store is energy transferred to when you compress a spring?

  Elastic Potential
