you cannot figure out the change in velocity given just the distance and loss of potential energy. you need more information

What is the final velocity of an object that decreases in kinetic energy and increases in potential energy?
Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.
Why can an object have kinetic energy and potential energy?
Because they are not mutually exclusive. Take for example a falling object; while falling at a given velocity it has (.5)(mass)(velocity)2=Kinetic Energy but also has the potential energy of whatever distance it has yet to fall, which equals (mass)(gravity)(height)=Potential Energy These two types of energy equal the Total Energy of the falling object, which never changes as it falls.
What is the distance between kinetic and potential energy?
Kinetic and potential energy are a type of energy, not a measurement of distance.
How to find potential energy when only mass and velocity time is given?
To get the potential energy when only the mass and velocity time has been given, simply multiply mass and the velocity time given.
Does velocity affect an object's potential energy?
No. The equation for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, gis 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. Velocity is not a factor in determining potential energy.
Mechanical energy describes what energy?
combined potential and kinetic energy (:mass and velocity
Can somthing have momentum without having energy?
momentum = mass * velocity kinetic energy = 1/2 mass * velocity^2 If an object has non-zero momentum, it has non-zero velocity. It thus has kinetic energy, at least. It most likely has other forms of energy as well (potential, thermal, etc.)
What is the relationship of potential energy to kinetic energy when an object is in motion?
velocity squared
What best describes mechanical energy?
combined potential and kinetic energy (:mass and velocity
Why velocity of a mass attached to a spring is maximum at mean positions and zero at extreme positions?
This can easily be understood with conservation of energy. Assuming that no energy is lost, potential energy is continuously converted to kinetic energy, and vice versa. At the mean position, the potential energy is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (and hence the velocity) is at maximum.This can easily be understood with conservation of energy.

What do you know about interconversion of energy of kinetic energy and potential energy of free falling bodies?
The potential energy decreases as the body falls while the kinetic energy increases. P.E.=mass x gravity x height The shorter the height the less potential energy there is K.E.= 1/2 x mass x velocity^2 The velocity increases as the body falls and the bigger the velocity the more Kinetic Energy produced
How can a object have potential and kinetic energy at the same time?
potential energy is typically measured as m*g*h which means that its a function of height. kinetic energy is .5*m*v^2 , which means kinetic energy is dependent on velocity. therefore if an object is at any altitude and has some velocity it has kinetic and potential energy
