Why is there kinetic energy?
because there is kinetic energy.
Does mind have kinetic energy?
No, the mind does not possess kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is energy that is created by a force or motion.
How does an airplane flying have kinetic energy?
It has kinetic energy because it is moving. Just because it is in the air doesn't mean that it can't have kinetic energy.
What is kinetic energy-?
Kinetic energy is energy that is posessed by a moving mass.
What is the condition of an object if it has kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
Why are some craters on the moon bigger than others?
It all depends on the amount of kinetic energy the crater has when it hits the moon. The larger the height, and the more kinetic energy the crater has when it hits the moon the larger the diameter of the crater and the more deeper it is. Hope this helps!
Why is the gun such an impacting weapon?
All kinetic energy weapons deliver their punch via projectile impact.
How deep are the craters on the moon?
The Chicxulub crater is an ancient crater located just off of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. This crater is the one which implicates the demise of the dinosaurs over 65 million years ago. The crater has a diameter of over 180 kilometers (110 miles) and the impacting asteroid has been calculated to be at least 10 km (6 miles) in diameter. The amount of energy released has been calculated to be over 2 million times greater than the largest nuclear bomb (Tsar Bomba) at 50 megatons.
How does the drop height of an object affect the size of the crater it forms?
the higher something is the more potential energy it has. when you drop it that turns into kinetic energy & u gain more momentum. that creates a bigger impact on what the crater hits.
Why does the mass of a meteorite affect the depth of the crater?
The kinetic energy of the falling meteorite depends on its mass. So with greater mass larger kinetic energy. With this larger enegy, it could do more work and so it makes deep on its falling.
What kind of energy is energy motion?
It is kinetic energy.
How big was the k-t asteroid?
The impacting bolide that formed the crater was at least 10 km (6 mi) in diameter and delivered an estimated energy equivalent of 100 teratons of TNT(4.2×1023 J).4/3 pi r3 = 520 km3
Energy an object has due to its motion?
kinetic energyThe energy of motion is kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy is the energy of?
Motion.
The kinetic energy of a substance is the what kinetic energy of its particles?
The kinetic energy of a substance is the average kinetic energy of its particles.
What is the kinetic energy of a substance and the kinetic energy of its particles?
The kinetic energy of a substance is the average kinetic energy of its particles.
Is a dog barking kinetic energy or potential energy?
kinetic entergy
