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


Is gravity energy?

No. Gravity is a force. Potential energy turns into kinetic (moving) energy when you fall due to gravity.


What is the main kinetic energy?

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)


Is gravitational energy kinetic?

Gravitational energy is the potential energyassociated with the gravitational field.


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.


How is a river potential energy changed into kinetic energy?

As gravity pulls water down a slope, the water's potential energy changes to kinetic energy that can do work.
