Can kinetic energy and potential energy both increase when a gas filled balloon is rising in air?

Yes. energy is increasing inside the balloon causing it to rise in the air. Therefore, kinetic and potential energy is constantly increasing as the balloon floats higher.

When a spring compresses does its kinetic energy increase?
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
What happens to kinectic energy in balloon filled with helium gas?
Kinetic energy is lowered as the helium inside becomes compressed. Potential energy is stored, and can be released, usually by popping the balloon.
As a planet approaches perihelion does it potential energy increase or decrease?
At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum. The sum of kinetic + potential energy, of course, remains constant.At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum.

What energy has to do with potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic Energy+Potential Energy=Mechanical Energy (KE+PE=ME)
Is a tractor pulling plow kinetic energy or potential energy?
Kinetic energy because kinetic energy moves and potential energy stays in place
What affects potential?
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.
When a puck falls it potential energy increase or decrease?
Kinetic energy
Is an inflated balloon kinetic or potential?
I'd say that an inflated balloon would be strain, but could you specify what potential energy? Chemical potential? Gravitational potential?
What will happen to a balloon's volume if its heated?
The kinetic energy of the particles inside the balloon increase. This then expands the volume of the balloon.
When a spring compresses does its kinetic energy increase?
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
What happens to molecules as their potential energy increase?
will be transformed into kinetic energy
How does increasing speed affect potential energy?
Increasing the speed will increase the KINETIC energy, not the potential energy. Of course, the potential energy may eventually be converted into kinetic energy, for example if the object moves upwards.
What type of energy is produced by the elastic potential energy of a balloon that is blown and then let go?
The balloon has stored potential energy (elastic energy); by releasing the air or other gas, this is converted into movement, formally called kinetic energy.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
How does the sum of Kinetic and gravitational Potential energy change?
The answer depends on the situation. For example, the sum of the kinetic and gravitational potential energy of an aircraft which is taking off will increase.
What two things do you need to increase the kinetic energy of an object?
speed and potential energy
Does potential energy decrease with height?
if the body is moving upward its potential energy would decrease as its kinetic energy would increase
