Energy
Energy stores
Kinetic energy
Energy that an object possesses due to its movement
defined as work added from a resting position to its current speed/velocity
gravitational potential energy
Energy of an object due to it's height
caused by the gravity of the earth
Chemical energy
Stored in chemical compounds
Energy is released when chemical reactions take place
Nuclear energy
