Energy stores

• kinetic energy= 0.5 x mass x velocity^2
• GPE= mass x gravitational field strength x height
• elastic potential is anything that when stretched or squashed gains energy (for example a rubber band)
• Thermal energy is any object that as it gets hotter it gains more energy(for example toaster)
• Chemical energy is anything that can gain energy by chemical reactions (for example burning wood)
• Kinetic energy is the energy store of a moving object. The faster an object moves the more Kinetic Energy it has
• Gravitation Potential Energy of an object increases as an object gets higher into the gravitational field
