  • 8 energy stores:
    • kinetic
    • magnetic
    • thermal
    • chemical
    • elastic potential
    • electrostatic
    • gravitational potential
    • nuclear
  • magnetic store?
    energy stored by 2 magnetics attracting or repelling one another
  • law of conservation of energy= energy cannot be created or destroyed
  • what is melting?
    Solid to liquid
  • Freezing?
    Liquid to solid
  • Evaporate?
    Liquid to gas
  • Condense?
    gas to liquid
  • Sublimate?
    solid to gas
  • energy stored inside a system by the particles that make up the system. Particles in a system vibrate or move around. Therefore, they must have a kinetic energy store.
  • Einternal​=Ek​+Ep​ internal energy
  • power?
    the rate at which energy is transferred(or rate at which work is done)
  • 4 energy transfers?
    • mechanical= when force moves an object a distance
    • heating= energy is transferred from hot to cold object
    • electrical = energy is transferred by a moving charge due to pd
    • radiation= energy is transferred as an electromagnetic wave
  • how is workdone taken place when pushing shopping trolley?
    transferring chemical energy stored in your body to kinetic energy for the trolley
