it's still kinetic energy when it's in the air, MOVING, that's what kinetic energy is. But before it falls, let's say it's on the top of a hill or in someone's hand, it has potential energy.

You have sound energy, and heat energy, and mechanical energy (the ball bends), and what have I left out?

What type of energy is a curve ball is it kinetic?

Basically, if it moves, it has kinetic energy. And if it is above ground level, it has gravitational potential energy.


What type of energy is a golf ball hit?

if the golf ball is hit into the air, the forces on the golf ball are pushing (when the golf ball is hit) and air resistance (when it is flying through the air). when the ball hits the ground and starts to roll, the only force acting on it is friction.


As a baseball flies through the air after being hit what type of energy does it have?

The Ball has energy in the form of potential energy as if it was released it would fall to the ground. The pitcher uses chemical energy to move his arm and give momentum to the ball. The ball's energy is now transformed to kinetic energy as it moves through the air.


What type of energy is transfered as a bat hits a ball?

You transfer energy[chemical] from your body to the bat[kinetic] to attack the ball. No energy is lost, but some heat is. It is the same as the Law of Conservation of matter. Hope this helps! =D


What type of energy change takes place when a ball is thrown up?

When ball is in the hand, it possesses internal energy. We give it kinetic energy when we throw it up and its kinetic energy decreases as it gains height.The kinetic energy turns to gravitational potential energy which reaches its maximum when it reaches its highest point. At that point the ball stops and then it falls.Its gravitational energy turns to kinetic energy as it falls. When it falls, its some energy turns to heat energy.When the balls hits the ground sound energy is produced and heat is given. The final energy which the body possesses is internal energy.


Which type of energy does a squashed ball has?

Potential Energy.


A ball held above the floor has what type of energy?

Any object above ground level has gravitational potential energy. Actually, ground level is commonly chosen as the reference level, but any other level may be chosen as well. The choice is arbitrary.
