A ball in your hand has gravitational potential energy. If you were to move the ball at all you would be transfering that energy into Kinetic energy.

When potential energy converts to kinectic energy?

When the object with the potential energy is released. For example, if you hold a lead ball in your hand at shoulder height it has potential energy. As soon as you release it from your hand its potential energy will begin to be converted to kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy. What form of grammar do you possess?


What kind of energy does a ball have?

-- A ball on a shelf has gravitational potential energy with respect to the floor. -- A ball in motion has kinetic energy. -- A ball of fire has heat energy. -- A ball of trinitrotoluene has chemical energy. -- A ball of charged pith has static electric energy. -- A ball of U235 has nuclear energy.


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.


What kind of energy is after a juggler holds it?

If a juggler is holding a ball, say, the ball has Potential Energy. When the ball is dropped, the ball has Kinetic Energy.

Is it a hand ball if someone kicks the ball at you football?

If the ball is kicked at your hand then no. There is ball to hand and hand to ball. If it is ball to hand, nothing should happen, but if you go and block the ball with your hand or arm, it's a foul. There are exceptions but that is the general rule.
