mechanical energy
An elevator going up is increasing its potential energy. This energy and some kinetic energy to speed up the elevator in its way up comes from an electric motor that pulls the lifting cables that hold the elevator.
If it is a rollercoaster that has a first drop hill, the roller coaster has the greatest kinetic energy at the bottom of that drop. If it is magnetically launched, the kinetic energy is probably greatest immediately after the launch. However, there are cases where these statements may not be true. (i.e. a drop right after a magnetic launch)The energy is the greatest at the bottom of a drop, before some is translated back into potential energy as the car climbs the next rise.
Yes because in a catapult the potential energy in a stretched piece of elastic is transferred to a stone as kinetic energy. The potential energy came from the user who stretched the elastic
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
kinetic energy is energy in motion. potential is like a roller coaster you start at the bottom and go up to highest point of the coaster and yougain potential energy as you move to the highest point of the coaster and when you go down the peak point the potential energy the coaster was gaining is transferred to kinetic energy.
Potential energy is used when going up hill on a roller coaster. When it starts gong down the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy comes from movement. If the roller coaster is moving at the top of the hill, it has kinetic energy. if the rollercoaster isn't moving then it has potential energy.
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.
when it is high and stopped its potential when its going down is the kinetic
Kinetic Energy.
At the top of the loops the cars have the maximum potential energy. The maximum kinetic energy is when they are going fastest. So the energy they possess is switching from potential to kinetic and back again as they progress around the circuit, but the overall change from start to finish is a loss of potential energy.Potential energy-when the roller coaster is getting startedKinetic energy-roller coaster is exactly using the potential energy to speed up
A roller coaster is a good example for a place to find both kinetic and potential energy. Before a drop, it has potential energy. At the end of a drop, it has kinetic energy. Half way through the drop, it has kinetic and potential energy at the same time.
On a pendulum, the greatest potential energy is at the highest point of the swing on either side, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the swing. On a roller coaster, the greatest potential energy is at the top of a hill, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the hill.
both!
Energy doesnt run out, it is just transferred. For example, a ball in a high place is said to have potential kinetic energy, if it then falls that energy is transferred to kinetic and thermal energy. Upon rest, the ball again has potential kinetic energy.
