====Accelerating====
: When an [[object]] [[accelerate]]s towards the ground [[energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] from the [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store|gravitational potential energy store]] of the [[object]] to the [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy store]] of the [[object]].
====Decelerating====
: When an [[object]] [[decelerate]]s away from the ground [[energy]] is [[Energy Transfer|transferred]] from the [[Kinetic Energy Store|kinetic energy store]] of the [[object]] to the [[Gravitational Potential Energy Store|gravitational potential energy store]] of the [[object]].
