What process do plants use to convert kinetic energy from the sun into the potential energy of sugar?
photosynthesis
Did wind possesses both kinetic and potential energy?
Blowing wind has kinetic energy. This can be transformed into electrical energy using a turbine to transform the wind into rotational kinetic energy and a generator or alternator to convert the rotational kinetic energy to electrical energy. Water above a dam has potential energy from gravity and also from the weight of the water around it. Once it is moving or flowing down through the pipes it then has kinetic energy.
What happends to potential energy as a squashed ball regains its shape?
As the ball returns to its original shape, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases.
How does a roller coaster convert potential energy to kinetic energy and then back to potential energy again and again?
So the potential energy is the energy in the car at the top of the first slope. It changes into kinetic energy (Speed with mass) as it rolls down the hill. Then the electric motor winds it back up the hill, putting potential energy in the system again.
What type of energy is sound besidess potential and kinetic?
Sound is a mechanical ennergy besides potential and kinetic.
What does kinetic energy convert to?
It converts to potential energy.
Do cell phones have potential energy?
Yes. If you drop them, the potential energy will convert to kinetic energy.
How can kinetic energy convert to potential energy?
By raising objects against gravity (upward)
What energy does your body energy convert?
Your body could could convert chemical energy into potential, kinetic, or mechanical energy.
How do you convert potential energy into kinetic?
If you fired a bullet vertically upward, it would have kinetic energy at first, when it gets to the top of its travel this would all have been converted to potential energy.
Is rolling down a hill potential or kinetic energy?
Yes, because potential energy is energy stored but kinetic is energy in motion.
What kind of energy do windmills convert it is kinetic or potential?
The kinetic energy of the wind (moving mass of air) is (usually) converted into electric energy.
What process do plants use to convert kinetic energy from the sun into the potential energy of sugar?
photosynthesis
Is anything that lifted off the ground has potential energy?
True. It has "potential energy", in that gravity could be used to convert that "potential" energy into actual kinetic energy.
Is hydroelectric tidals potential or kinetic?
kinetic
Is hydroeletric energy kinetic or potential?
Potential energy (turned into kinetic energy to drive the turbines), (turned into electrical energy by the turbines). Note the original source of this energy is the Sun (nuclear fusion).
What is what is kinetic energy?
Kinetic Energy is movement energy. The energy present in an object's movement. For example, if you run you convert chemical potential energy ( food eaten by you ) to the energy of running. It is often transfered from a potential energy.
