A boulder falling through the air has what type of energy?
a boulder falling through the air still has some potential energy, but some of its potential energy has changed to kinetic energy...so it has both potential and kinetic!
What is the energy in an object about to fall?
the energy in an object about to fall is potential energy then kinetic energy because when the object is not falling, it has potential energy but when it's actually falling, it has kinetic energy.
Describe a stone falling off a tabletop in terms of both kinetic energy and potential energy?
Sitting on the table the stone has potential energy, relative to the ground, of weight times height, mgh. It has zero kinetic energy so its total energy is E = 0 + mgh. When it begins falling it loses potential energy (as it loses height) and gains kinetic energy ( as it picks up speed) so the sum stays the same as initially E = KE + PE = mgh. Just before it hits the ground all of its potential energy is gone and has been transformed into kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy at the bottom (1/2)mv^2 will equal the potential energy at the top.
What form of energy is a falling rock?
That is a trick question, but I believe it is kinetic energy.
When an object that is falling loose potential energy what is this transformed into?
The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, heat and sometimes sound.
Is a falling ball potential or kinetic energy?
it is kinetic because it involves releasing the energy.

What type of energy does a falling water?
potential and kinetic
What has both kinetic and potential energy?
A falling object.

Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
What is energy from potenttial energy kinetic energy would be what?
A falling rock. In the air it has potential energy, as it falls it gets kinetic energy.
What has potntial energy that changes to kinetic?
A falling object changes from gravitational potential to kinetic.
What is the two forms of energy?
Kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy) A ball at the top of a building getting ready to be dropped has potential energy, but a ball falling has kinetic energy If the ball is at the top of the building, it has 100% potential and 0% kinetic and when it is halfway from top to bottom and falling it has 50% of each
What is an example of how potential energy can transform into kinetic energy?
A rock falling of a cliff.
What is an example of gravitational potential energy tranforming in kinetic energy?
A falling stone.
