There is no "gravity kinetic energy". There is gravitational energy (a type of potential energy), and - separately - there is kinetic energy (the energy of movement).

When gravity is pulling on something does the something have kinetic energy?

The object can be stationary and have gravity pulling on it ergo no kinetic energy


What does gravity do to your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and when you are driving downhill?

When driving uphill, gravity acts against your motion, decreasing your kinetic energy. When driving downhill, gravity acts in the direction of motion, increasing your kinetic energy.


What is the main kinetic energy?

gravity


Is gravity potential or kinetic energy?

Gravity is a force more so than an energy


Gravity your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and it when you are driving downhill?

When driving uphill, gravity acts against your kinetic energy, requiring more energy to maintain speed. When driving downhill, gravity aids your kinetic energy, allowing you to maintain or increase speed more easily. In both cases, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the vehicle moves.

Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)

How does the force of gravity affect the energy of an object in motion?

The force of gravity affects the energy of an object in motion by either increasing or decreasing its potential and kinetic energy. Gravity can either pull the object down, increasing its kinetic energy, or lift it up, increasing its potential energy.


When you throw a ball upward its kinetic energy what?

When you throw a ball upward, its kinetic energy decreases as it moves against gravity due to the work done by the force of gravity. As the ball reaches its highest point, its kinetic energy is at its minimum while potential energy is at its maximum.


What is The primary factor in decreasing the Kinetic Energy of an object?

Important factors in decreasing Kinetic Energy are Gravity and 'drag' from Friction.


Does gravity cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?

No. Friction with the air does with an object in free fall in the earth's atmosphere. Gravity causes a falling body to accelerate so it changes potential energy into kinetic energy.
