What do windmills convert into electrical energy?
kinetic energy. kinetic energy is moving energy and wind is moving.
Why the moving water have kinectic energy?
kinectic energy means moving and the water that is said to be moving is kinectic because it is moving
Is a lit match kinetic or potential energy?
I think it is kinetic energy because it is moving and moving energy is kinetic energy.
What do you call energy if an object is moving?
When an object is moving, it is called kinetic energy.
Do only moving things have energy?
No, only moving things do not have energy. That is false. A light has energy, but it does not move.
If An asteroid is moving in space at a constant speedwhat is the work done on the asteroid?
Zero.Zero.Zero.Zero.
Is it true that the farther away from Earth a galaxy is the slower it is moving?
incorrect. The farther away from earth a galaxy is, the faster it is moving.
Which is fastest moving an asteroid moon sun earth?
for fastest speed of actual forward movement i believe its an asteroid
When an electron moves from a higher energy level to a lower energy level the atom commonly?
The electron moving from a lower to a higher energy level equates to moving from a specific orbit 'r' to a specific orbit 'rr' that is farther from the nucleus.
What forms of energy are involved in a bicycle coasting along a level road?
It's probably a bit of both. As long as the bike is moving it'll have some kinetic energy. If it's moving uphill it'll be gaining potential energy and if it's moving downhill it'll be losing potential energy.
How is an asteroid released from the asteroid belt?
Usually by another asteroid moving through the belt and hitting one, creating a force to move an asteroid from its orbit. Also, if a large enough asteroid passes by, it is possible that the gravity that it generates could pull a few off.
Are the planets moving farther from the sun over time?
No.
What is a mass of rock moving through space called?
Planet Asteroid Meteoroid
Can an asteroid from the asteroid belt suddenly fling towards earth?
Not just like that, it'll prefer to keep moving in its established track. It'd pretty much have to bump into another asteroid to change orbit radically.
How great are the chances that an asteroid can hit your planet?
its a fifty fifty chance we just dont know It depends on how fast the asteroid is moving and the size of the asteroid. Then you have to consider the size of the planet (diameter, etc.), and its orbital speed, etc.
What is the energy of moving particles in a subatnce?
The energy moving in particles in a substance is thermal energy
What do windmills convert into electrical energy?
kinetic energy. kinetic energy is moving energy and wind is moving.
