The ball has the highest potential energy at its maximum height (15m in the air). At the beginning, the ball has only kinetic energy and no potential energy. But as the ball travels upward, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. When the ball changes direction, there is no kinetic energy, as all of it is now potential energy. As the ball returns back down, potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy.

A girl throws a ball 15m into the air The ball has the maximum potential energy at a height of what?

At its highest point.


The energy in springs and rubber bands is?

Potential Energy - Stored Energy or the potential to do work Kinetic energy is energy of motion, as you in a car. If the car runs into a tree, the kinetic ehergy in your body throws you into the windshield. And it hurts.


When a pitcher is holding a baseball the ball has energy. After the pitcher throws the ball the ball has energy.?

The Ball has energy in the form of potential energy as if it was released it would fall to the ground. The pitcher uses chemical energy to move his arm and give momentum to the ball. The ball's energy is now transformed to kinetic energy as it moves through the air.


A student throws a ball up in the air with an initial velocity of 12 Meters per Second and then catches it as it comes back down to him. What is the ball's velocity when he catches it?

The velocity of the ball is 12 Meters per Second minus whatever velocity is lost due to the resistance of air while going up and coming back down (the loss is negligible for this example). As the ball leaves the student's hand it has a certain energy due to motion (Kinetic Energy). This energy is decreased as the ball rises and slows down. The energy is not lost. It is changing to energy due to position (Potential Energy). At the very top of the rise of the ball, where it stops, it has exactly the same Potential Energy as it had Kinetic Energy when it left his hand. It will start back down, losing Potential Energy and gaining Kinetic Energy on the way. When the student catches it it will have exactly the same Kinetic Energy it had when it left his hand on the way up. A very small portion of the energy is converted to the energy in heat due the air friction. In it's total travel absolutely no energy is lost.


A girl throws a tennis ball upward with an initial velocity of 4 meters per second . What is the maximum displacement of the ball?

0.82 metres.

When a baseball player throws a baseball he transfers kinetic energy from his body to kinetic energy in the ball Where does the baseball player get his kinetic energy from?

The kinetic energy comes from potential energy, which he got from ATP energy, which is produced through food. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy after the muscles contract and relax. Sources: School science


When a pitcher throws a softball to a catcher the vibration of the atoms that make up the softball is potential energy while the motion of the ball toward the catcher is non mechanical energy?

How many times does a bowling ball roll down the lane?

In a standard 10 frame game, you get two throws per frame for frames 1 to 9. In the tenth frame, you get two throws plus a bonus throw for a total of three. The minimum number of throws would be 12, this would be in a perfect game (a 300 game). The maximum number of throws would be 21.


Why do people bring ladders to Mardi Gras?

1) To have a height advantage in catching "throws" and 2) To be able to see the parades better as the crowds form.
