Kinetic energy means energy through movement, so yes, it is. Any movement is kinetic energy.

After rolling halfway down an incline a marble's kinetic energy is?

The same as it's potential energy


What energy does a marble have when it is dropped?

Kinetic energy is moving energy


What is the energy conversion when a marble is released from a ramp?

Potential Energy changes to Kinetic Energy.


What are the effects of potential energy and kinetic energy to 3 states of matter?

Kinetic energy effects changes of state because it is when energy that has been held up inside the object (aka potential energy), is finally released. For example: On a roller coaster, the cart goes up a hill. At the top of the hill, right before it is about to go down another hill, it has potential energy, or stored up energy. Then whe it is going down the hill, all the energy is released and now the energy is in the form of kinetic. Another example: A marble is attached onto the end of a string. You pull the marble back. While being held back, the marble has potential energy. When you let the marble go, that energy turns into potential energy, because it is in motion. Defintions: Potential energy: Energy that is stored up Kinetic energy: Energy in motion


What forces make a marble roll down a hill?

well according philosophy the content in which it prevails is the amount of potential energy which is at the top and the amount of kinetic energy which hits the marble as it is going down because potential mean position and kinetic means motion so a marble in motion would be kinetic energy. Gravity has a big roll in this chasm as well because gravity cause speed: if you try a lab experiment with a marble, you will know what this means


If marble rolls across the table does it posses potential or kinetic energy?

The equation is K.E. = ½ * mass * velocity2 Kinetic energy is a measure of an object's energy due to the fact that has mass and is moving. So as long as the ball has mass and is moving, it has kinetic energy. Since all tables have friction the marble will slow down as to rolls and lose some KE. Potential Energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height. However since the ball is on a table (height), it also has potential energy. If one end of the table is a little higher than the other, it will gain potential energy as it rolls up the little hill, of course as it rolls up that little hill, it will lose the same amount of kinetic energy as the potential energy it gained. This is called "Conservation of Energy".


Which type of energy is being converted into kinetic energy as a marble falls from a shelf?

Gravitational Potential Energy, also known as GPE.


What is the main energy form that makes a toy marble roll cross the floor?

the main energy is called kinetic energy as that is energy for movement xx


If a marble is in a tube starting as potential energy and turns into kinetic energy but the marble goes in a loop and goes to a stop what type of energy is that called?

You have converted potential energy to kinetic and then back to potential. If the marble came back exactly to its starting point you would have invented perpetual motion, but in fact it will lose a little energy in friction against the tube so it will gradually lose energy and eventually just stop at the lowest point of the tube.


If you made a roller coaster out of tubes and a marble represented the cars where does the marble get the initial energy it uses to go through the tubes?

You ate food.Your body took energy from the food and stored it in your muscles.You transferred the energy from your muscles to the marble, when you LIFTED the marble against gravityand placed it on top of the roller coaster. Up there, the energy it had was potential. As it fell to lower heights,that potential energy became kinetic energy.


What has more kinetic energy a bowling ball or a marble moving at the same speed?

The one that's more massive.


What causes the change in the marble's energy when it is released from a different height?

It gains kinetic energy while losing potential energy. There is also some additional energy loss due to entropy,
