As a car rolls down a hill where would the motion and gravitational energy be equal?

As a car rolls down a hill, the motion and gravitational potential energy(GPE) will be equal when the kinetic energy is equal to the potential energy.


When does the string of a car on a roller coaster store its maximum gravitational potential energy?

Any object has maximum gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest position.


What is gravitational potential energy turned into when you r using car?

On a level surface, the gravitational potential energy will remain constant. If you start travelling down a hill then a proportion of the gravitational energy will change to kinetic energy. If you were to drive off a cliff, then all of the gravitational potential energy would convert into kinetic energy.


What kind of energy is used to make a car go down the street?

The car's gravitational potential energy.


Does a moving car have potential energy?

A moving car can have potential energy. It can be on a hill or a rise. This would give it gravitational potential energy. It can have gasoline, a battery with charge or both. This would give it chemical potential energy.


Which has greater gravitational potential energy a car sittknv on top of a hill or a bowling ball sitting kn top of the same hill?

Gravitational potential energy is proportional to the object's height and its mass. So if the car has more mass than the bowling ball has, then it also has more gravitational potential energy.


What is the gravitational potential energy to a car that is 1500kg and is dropped from 50 meters?

After the car is dropped, it has NO gravitational potential energy.Before it's dropped, you can calculate the potential energy as mgh (mass x gravity x height). You can use 9.8 for gravity.


Does gravitational potential energy converted to electrical energy occur in routine operation of a car?

That could happen in an electric or hybrid car, when the car is coasting down a hill, converting gravitational potential energy to the car's kinetic energy, and a touch of the brakes puts some of that kinetic energy into the batteries. But it's a stretch.


3 examples of gravitational potential energy?

Car on hill a car on a hill a pecil on a hill


Are there examples of potential energy?

Gravitational Potential Energy, Elastic Potential Energy, Chemical Potential Energy, Electrical Potential Energy, Nuclear Potential Energy. If you want more info, check out this wikipedia page that I linked.


A car burns gasoline as you drive up a large mountain what energy transformation is the car performing?

Chemical energy to kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy


What kind of energy does a car possesses when it is raised on a lift?

Basically just about ANYTHING that is raised has gravitational potential energy.
