What is an example of gravitational energy transforming to mechanical energy?
Gravitational potential energy IS mechanical energy. Mechanical energy includes both kinetic energy, and potential energy.When an object falls, gravitational potential energy will be converted to KINETIC energy.
How does the sum of Kinetic and gravitational Potential energy change?
The answer depends on the situation. For example, the sum of the kinetic and gravitational potential energy of an aircraft which is taking off will increase.
An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
Gravitational energy Potential energy
Water draining from a tower is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy
What is a simple example of gravitational energy to kinetic energy?
hello

Is gravitational energy kinetic?
Gravitational energy is the potential energyassociated with the gravitational field.
What is an example of gravitational potential energy tranforming in kinetic energy?
A falling stone.

Example of conversion of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy?
The simplest example is a falling object. Its potential energy is reduced, while its speed, and thus its kinetic energy, increases.
An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
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.
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
Gravitational energy Potential energy
Water draining from a tower is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy being converted to kinetic energy
Is a waterfall an example of mechanical energy?
From my understanding, yes. A waterfall is an example of potential gravitational energy and kinetic energy. The water is moving downstream at a fast pace (kinetic energy) and when reaching the drop off the water gains potential gravitational energy and drops towards the ground. Mechanical energy is a mix between Kinetic energy and any type of potential energy so yes, a waterfall is an example of Mechanical Energy.
Can you have maximum gravitational potential energy and maximum gravitational kinetic energy at the same point?
No, gravitational portential energy is more with more hight and gravitational kinetic energy is maximum just before reaching the ground.
