What energy has to do with potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic Energy+Potential Energy=Mechanical Energy (KE+PE=ME)
Is a tractor pulling plow kinetic energy or potential energy?
Kinetic energy because kinetic energy moves and potential energy stays in place
Object hanging on a tree a kinetic or potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.
Is a rock potential or kinetic energy?
It has potential energy but when it is in movement it will possess kinetic energy
Is gravitational energy kinetic?
Gravitational energy is the potential energyassociated with the gravitational field.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
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
Is it possible to have more kinetic energy than potential energy?
No, because potential energy is the amount of energy that COULD be used, while kinetic energy is the amount of energy that IS being used.
Mechanical energy is a term that is used to describe potential or kinetic energ y?
both potential and kinetic energy
What are the two main forms of energy?
The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.
What energy is used when skydiving?
Kinetic and potential.
What are Kinetic and Potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy that make things move. They are known as the "Movement Energy". Potential energy is the energy stored in object, waiting to be used.
What is the energy used before throwing a paper airplane?
Potential and kinetic energy
An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
What is the total kinetic energy and potential energy?
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
What are the two basic types of energy?
There are two main types of energy which is kinetic and potential energy.. Kinetic energy is an energy associated with motion.. while the potential energy is an energy stored with the position of an object, or its chemical composition.
Is kinetic energy more than potential energy?
Both are forms of energy. Potential energy is the available energy that could be used and Kinetic energy is the energy actually being used. Think of Potential energy as being a high cliff with water on top. The higher the cliff the more energy available. If no water is falling though, there is noting being used, But the potential for falling water is still there. Kinetic energy is the water that actually falls.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
