Absolutely. Kinetic energy, in other words, means that the object in question is moving. Potential energy is measured in distance from the ground. The higher the object, the more potential energy it has. An object can be moving and can be off the ground, so, technically, yes.

Roll a tennis ball down a playground slide. Lifting the ball inputs the energy used to counteract gravity. At the top, the (gravitational) energy the ball possesses is potential. As the ball rolls down, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. At the halfway point, half the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy.

Object hanging on a tree a kinetic or potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.
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 is the combinatoin of all the kinetic and potential energy of an object?
The name for the combination of the kinetic and potential energy of an object is heat.
How is potential and kinetic energy used?
potential energy is the energy that an object has stored up. kinetic energy is an object in motion. :) hi ppl :)))))))
The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is know as?
The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is thermal energy.
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
Compare potential and kinetic energy?
The difference between potential and kinetic energy all comes down to a very simple property of the object. If an object is moving, then it has kinetic energy, or kinetic energy is the energy of movement. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object and can be released under the right conditions.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to potential energy how much kinetic energy does the object have?
Mechanical energy is defined as the SUM of potential energy plus kinetic energy. If all of its mechanical energy is potential energy, it follows that it has no kinetic energy.
Is kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object?
Mechanical energy is kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
The energy an object has because it is moving?
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The energy depends on the speed and mass of the object.
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.
What do the sentence mean an object's total kinetic and potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Kinetic energy is stored in an object when you apply force to it, lifting it, for example. That energy stays in the object as potential energy until it is released when you drop the object.
