yes it is, but you can only have kinetic energy of the object is in motion and potential energy if the object is any height above zero

What are the energy transformations of a slingshot?
elastic potential energy to kinetic energy
How is potential energy like kinetic?
They're not the same thing, potential energy is energy at rest whereas kinetic energy is energy in motion.
What has kinetic and potential energy?
A roller coaster is a good example for a place to find both kinetic and potential energy. Before a drop, it has potential energy. At the end of a drop, it has kinetic energy. Half way through the drop, it has kinetic and potential energy at the same time.
What is the same and the difference between potential and kinetic energy?
Potential is stored energy and Kinetic is just simple movement like windmills are powerd with Kinetic energy. They are both energy.
Can objects have potential and kinetic energy at the same time?
a body cannot have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time because, a moving body can only possess kinetic energy at a time, but potential energy is one possessed by a body with respect to its possition.
Can objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
How can a object have potential and kinetic energy at the same time?
potential energy is typically measured as m*g*h which means that its a function of height. kinetic energy is .5*m*v^2 , which means kinetic energy is dependent on velocity. therefore if an object is at any altitude and has some velocity it has kinetic and potential energy
What unit use for work potential and kinetic?
Work uses the same unit as energy. Ideally, you would use the same units for work, potential energy, kinetic energy, or any other type of energy. In the SI, that is the joule.
What does not have the same units as the others Kinetic Energy Momentum Potential Energy or Work?
momentum
What is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy in a closed system?
Always remains the same.
What is the similarities between kinetic energy and potential energy?
kinetic energy depends on speed an potential energy depends on height and mass
What is the relationship between potential energy and thermal energy?
Hold a rock in the air ... it has potential energy. Drop it ... the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. It hits the ground and stop ... the kinetic energy will be converted into thermal energy. Note that the total energy in each case is the same.
