As an object falls the gravitational potential energy of the object is converted to what?

Some of its potential energy changes to kinetic energy.


What will happen to the kinetic energy of the object as it falls?

Increase.


What is the energy in an object about to fall?

the energy in an object about to fall is potential energy then kinetic energy because when the object is not falling, it has potential energy but when it's actually falling, it has kinetic energy.


When an object falls and touches ground the kinetic energy transforms to which energy?

Heat, sound and more kinetic energy as things are moved by the impact of the object.


As an object falls towards the ground what happen to the kinetic energy of the object?

Increases

What happen to the potential energy of an object as it falls?

It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)


As a puck falls what happens to the potent-ion energy?

When an object falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy.


When an object falls which energy changes to?

As the object falls, it PEG or potential gravitational energy becomes kinetic energy. Before falling, it has for example 10 joules of PEG and 0 joules of Kinetic energy. As it falls, the PEG decreases and the kinetic energy increases, until it hits the ground, when all the energy is dispersed as sound, heat, etc.

When an object falls down, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.


Does an object loose its potential energy as it falls?

Yes it does, then all of it turns to kinetic energy.
