Does a ball in your hand possess energy?
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.
What happens to potential energy when a rock drops from your hand?
When the ball falls down, the potential energy decreases (potential energy is greater at a greater height), but the kinetic energy (energy due to movement) will increase.
What are the conversions between potential and kinetic energy that occurs when you shoot a basketball at a basket?
Seriously -.-' First of all When You throw The Basketball it is going up^ Which is Kinetic energy when is comes down and STOPS it is Potential energy. Oh And this question is in the 6th grade science textbook! The orange textbook....so yeah. BYe
When does a bowling ball have potential energy?
A bouncing ball has the most potential energy when it is at the top portion of its bounce. Technically... A bouncy ball is at it's max. potential energy when it's still in your hand, but if you mean after it's been thrown, it's when it's at the highest point of that particular bounce.

If you toss a ball in the air at what point does it have the most potential energy?
When the ball is in your hand, not moving

Examples of potential energy?
unlit match a rock held in your hand.

Can an object have no either potential energy and kinetic energy?
Yes. Potential energy is energy that has not yet been released. Kinetic energy is energy or an object already in motion.Think of a ball 1 mile up in the air that begins to fall. After it has fallen 10 feet, releasing some, but not all of its potential energy, it has built up some kenetic energy as well from the motion of falling 10 feet, but still has 5270 feet worth of potential energy to go. What happens as the ball falls is that it gradually changes all of its potential energy into kinetic energy.co
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.
How does a yo yo transfer both potential and kinetic energy?
The yoyo is a good example of how potential and kinetic energy can oscillate. When fully up and stationary it has zero kinetic and only potential, when it is fully down and rotating at max speed this energy has been converted to kinetic, then it climbs up again, and so on. The player has to keep providing a small input of energy to overcome friction losses.
What kind of energy is bending your fingers to make a fist?
before you move your hand (when it is still) it has potential energy. When your hand is actually moving it has KINETIC ENERGY. Then when it is in a fist and not moving it has potential energy again.
How can potential energy be increased and decreased?
Potential energy is pretty much the potential for kinetic energy. The less kinetic energy there is, the more potential... On the other hand, if you need gravitational potential energy, then the higher the object is placed above the ground, the more GPE it has.
