Key Stage 4

Meaning

The vibrational energy store is an energy store associated with objects that are vibrating (oscillating).

About Vibrational Energy

When an object is vibrating energy is transferred repeatedly from the kinetic energy store to a potential energy store and back again.
In the case of a spring oscillating energy is transferred from the kinetic energy store into the elastic potential energy store and back again. If it is a mass suspended from a spring then energy will also be transferred into the gravitational potential energy store and back into kinetic energy store.
