Kinetic Energy stores
Kinetic energy stores depends on the object's speed and mass. The greater the mass and the faster it's going, the more energy will be taken to the KE store
-
Anything that is moving has kinetic energy in its kinetic energy store. Energy is transferred to this store when an object speeds up and is transferred away from this store when an object slows down
GPE stores
GPE store depends on Height, mass and strength of the gravitational field strength

Specific heat capacity
Materials that need to gain energy for thermal energy stores to warm up also transfer energy when they cool down again
Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1˚C
Thermal energy store needs more energy to be transferred of some materials to increase their temperature than others
