Is a rock being pushed off a cliff potential energy being changed in kinetic energy?
kanetic
Is Niagara falls a good example of kinetic energy being converted to potential energy?
No. Other way around, yes: Niagara (or any waterfall) is an example of potential energy being changed to kinetic energy.
An example of kinetic energy continuously being changed to potential energy and back again might be?
A roller coaster.
What is an example of kinetic energy being changed to potential energy and back again?
a girl swinging back an forth
What is potential energy changed to kinetic energy?
Potential energy is when something is about to release its energy. Think of at a rollercoaster when it reaches the top, right before it is about to fall. That is potential energy because it could fall which will release the energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that is being released at that moment. For instance, the rollercoaster falling, it is being pulled downwards which is the kinetic energy.
Is kinetic energy is the energy an object has to due to its motion?
kinetic energy-energy in motion object that change from being at rest
What situation does not involve Potential energy being changed into kinetic energy?
1) Kinetic energy being turned back into potential energy. Look at a child on a swing. As the swing lowers (and they speed up), that's potential to kinetic. As the swing reaches its peak and stops, that kinetic to potential. 2) Burning is chemical energy being turned into heat and light. 3) In the Sun, nuclear fusion releases energy into heat and light.
Is kinetic energy the energy that is stored but not being used?
No. Kinetic energy is energy related to movement.
What is energy being released?
Kinetic energy.
Is a car being driven up a hill and being parked kinetic energy changing to potential energy?
Is it changing from kinetic energy to potential energy
When can a pulley have kinetic energy?
It could have kinetic energy when the strings are being pulled and it is in operation
Hands moving on a battery operated clock is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
