Seriously -.-'
First of all
When You throw The Basketball it is going up^ Which is Kinetic energy when is comes down and STOPS it is Potential energy.
Oh And this question is in the 6th grade science textbook!
The orange textbook....so yeah. BYe
There are many things that may happen when energy conversions occur when a ball is dropped and bounces back up. Energy is usually lost in heat and this causes vibration and friction which cause the rebound when they get in contact with the ball.Ê
When you bounce a basket ball, Before you let go of the ball as long as it is in your hands the ball as potential energy once you throw it down or let it fall by itself it has kinetic energy! The moment it hits the ground potential energy becomes zero and the ball bounces when it is stopped by your hands The kinetic energy becomes zero and Potential energy becomes maximum The cycle goes on!
-- When the basketball is in your hand, before it is dropped, it has full potential energy. Once that basketball is released from your hands, the potential energy is going to convert to kinetic energy (energy conversions). Right before the ball hits the ground, it has 100% kinetic energy, but the second the ball hits the ground it has 100% potential energy because it has no motion for the little time it is on the ground. When the basketball is bounced back up, the kinetic energy decreases while the potential energy increases. Then the ball reaches your hand and all of the energy is back to potential. This cycle continues. Do not forget that some of the energy when you bounce the basketball is transferred into sound energy ( when the ball hits the ground it creates sound).
The ball falls down: gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
The ball briefly gets compressed when it hits the ground: kinetic energy is converted to elastic (potential) energy.
When the ball rebounds, this elastic energy is converted back into kinetic energy.
As the ball goes up, kinetic energy is converted into gravitational potential energy.
Note that in each step, some energy will be lost or better, wasted (converted to heat, mainly). When this happens, the ball doesn't rebound as high as it was initially.
Assuming you have a magic tennis ball that doesn't lose energy, let's examine this question. You hold the ball at a certain height before you bounce it. It has potential energy directly proportional to that height. If you toss it down, you've added kinetic energy to the original potential energy. The ball will bounce higher than where you originally held it, because energy is conserved and the kinetic energy of your toss will be converted to potential energy, meaning height.
at first the ball goes down slow .then the ball speeds up.then the ball goes as fast as it could go. a ball has more energy going down a hill than up a hill.
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
There is a transformation involved between potential and kinetic energy. Mechanical energy is involved in overall process.
Kinetic is energy of motion. Potential energy is stored energy
The energy for muscle contractions ultimately comes from chemical reactions in the body that convert stored chemical potential energy into kinetic energy of the muscles, and subsequently of the jump. However, not all of that chemical energy is successfully converted into kinetic energy. Some is dissipated as heat, and a significant amount is lost into the ground.
One of the most common energy conversions involves the changing of potential energy to kinetic energy or kinetic energy to potential energy.Answer:Eventually all energy is transformed into heat.
When the ball is positioned in your hands it has full potential energy. As you move and the ball is thrown at the basket, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, by the transfer of kinetic energy from your arms, to your hands, to the ball. When the ball hits the basket some of its kinetic energy was converted into potential energy and then back into kinetic energy as it hit the ground.
Potential -> Kinetic -> Potential and so on and so forth
condensation and evaporation or potential to kinetic to heat is the kind of energy conversions sustain the water cycle
The basketball's kinetic energy begins to turn into potential energy as it reaches the basket.
In a hydro plant the water has potential energy which turns to kinetic when it is allowed to fall into the turbine. Or in a gasoline engine or a jet engine, the potential chemical energy in the fuel is released by burning it and it results in kinetic energy of the vehicle.
I only know of two: 1)potential energy to kinetic energy 2)potential energy to gravitational potential energy
kinetic is in motion and potential energy means it is still
The potential energy of the gasoline is converted to heat and kinetic energy.
There is a transformation involved between potential and kinetic energy. Mechanical energy is involved in overall process.
Kinetic and potential energy are a type of energy, not a measurement of distance.
you use kinetic to use your posture and potential to make the shoot to the basket. These is a silly answer.
Kinetic is energy of motion. Potential energy is stored energy
