A way in which energy is held, such as a kinetic, thermal or chemical energy store.
Revise: Conservation of EnergyIf 500 J leaves one energy store, a total of 500 J must enter one or more other stores. The energy may become harder to use, but the overall quantity is unchanged.
A quantity describing energy associated with the condition of a system, such as its motion, position, temperature or deformation.
A way in which energy is held, such as a chemical, kinetic, gravitational potential or thermal store.
A way in which energy is held by an object or by interacting objects, such as a kinetic, chemical or thermal store.
A way in which energy is held, such as a kinetic, gravitational potential, chemical or internal energy store.
A way energy is held by an object or system, such as a kinetic, thermal or gravitational potential energy store.
An energy store is a way energy is held, such as the kinetic store of a moving object or the internal (thermal) store of a warm object.

A way in which energy is held within a system, such as a kinetic, gravitational potential or elastic potential energy store.
Revise: Stored energy calculationsFor example, a moving ball has a kinetic energy store, a raised object has a gravitational potential energy store, and a stretched spring has an elastic potential energy store.
A way energy is held by an object or group of objects, such as a chemical, kinetic or thermal store.
A way energy is held by an object or system, such as in a kinetic, gravitational potential, elastic potential or thermal store.

A way in which energy is held, such as a kinetic, gravitational potential or thermal store.
A way in which energy is held in a system, such as a kinetic energy store or an internal energy store.
Name energy stores, such as the kinetic or thermal store. Use phrases such as “transferred electrically” or “transferred mechanically” for transfer pathways.
For an object moving upwards, refer to the gravitational potential energy store of the object–Earth system, not an energy store belonging to gravity itself.
Name the system or objects involved, then state which energy store decreases and which increases. Do not write only that energy is ‘lost’.
