What type of potential energy does a rock perched on the edge of a cliff have?
A rock at the edge of a cliff has potential energy. This energy may be converted to kinetic energy by the force of gravity if it falls off the cliff.
Does a rock on the edge of a cliff contain kinetic energy?
No, because kinetic energy is the energy and object possesses because of its motion and its mass. Potential energy is the energy stored and held in readiness in an object. The rock has to be moving to have kinetic energy, but since the rock is just sitting on the edge of a cliff, it doesn't have kinetic, it has potential.
When a rock falls from a cliff potential energy changes into?
kinetic energy
What energy transformations occur in a fan?
A moving fan is an example of kinetic energy, the energy of objects in motion. An example of potential energy would be a large rock at the edge of a cliff. If the rock falls off the cliff, its potenital energy (energy by virtue of its location), is converted to kinetic energy, energy of its motion, as it falls.
What is the total mechanical energy of a rock falling off a cliff at a time when its potential energy is 500 J and its kinetic energy is 600 J?
1,100 j 110 j

What is an example of how potential energy can transform into kinetic energy?
A rock falling of a cliff.
Does a rock at the edge of a 200m high cliff has more potential energy than an equal sized rock at the edge of a 600m high cliff?
The higher rock has more potential energy
Is a rock being pushed off a cliff potential energy being changed in kinetic energy?
kanetic
Is a rock at the edge of a 200-m high cliff has more potential energy than an equal size rock at the edge of a 600-m high cliff?
No. Rocks of equal weight have more potential energy the higher they are.
How much energy does a 50 kg rock have if it is sitting on the edge of a 15 m cliff?
7350
What is the total mechanical energy of a rock falling off a cliff at a time when its potential energy is 500 J and its kinetic energy is 600 J?
1,100 j 110 j
A rock weighing 98 newtons is pushed off the edge of a bridge 50 meters above the ground What was the potential energy of the rock before it began to fall?
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x Mass x Velocity2 As the velocity while the rock is on the bridge's edge is 0, it does not have any kinetic energy: Therefore the answer is zero.
Is a falling rock a kinetic reaction?
There is no such thing as a kinetic reaction. Any moving body has kinetic energy. When a rock falls, its gravitational potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.
