nopes for our cars need kinetic energy
You might have to research these types of energies in particular. But, basically a mouse trap car uses:-Potential energy-Kinetic energy-sound energy-Mechanical Energy
they are not the same. kinetic energy is energe that an object has due to its motion. potential energy is stored and held in the readiness. for example kinetic energy would be like a bowling ball knocking over bowling pins. unlike kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion, potential energy is stored and may be used later on like a car stopping at a red light.
All in one sentence? Ok... "The potential energy in a watch spring is translated to kinetic energy by the mechanical energy of the spring unwinding." Or.. "Kinetic energy is released when a body moves from one state to another." "The potential energy of a circuit is understood by analyzing the circuit components." "Striking the head of a nail with a hammer is an example of mechanical energy." or.. do it your self :D
potential energy is mgh where : m= mass g= gravity h= height everything is the same except mass. one car would be 2mgh and the other just mgh so the more massive car has twice as much potential energy. hope this helps!
The potential energy will double too.
The car that is highest has the most potential energy.
Potential energy in a mouse trap car is stored in the tension of the mousetrap's spring. As the spring is wound or compressed, it gains potential energy due to the stored elastic potential energy. When the trap is released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, propelling the car forward.
its potential
A moving car can have potential energy. It can be on a hill or a rise. This would give it gravitational potential energy. It can have gasoline, a battery with charge or both. This would give it chemical potential energy.
A parked car primarily has potential energy due to its position relative to the ground. This energy is based on its height and mass; the higher the car is positioned, the more potential energy it has. Additionally, if the car is on an incline, it has gravitational potential energy that could be converted into kinetic energy if it were to roll downhill. However, while stationary, the car does not possess kinetic energy.
Yes, as the car is driven up the hill, its kinetic energy is transforming into potential energy as it gains height. Once the car is parked at the top of the hill, it has maximum potential energy and minimal kinetic energy.
Potential energy is stored in the car at the top of the hill due to its position relative to the ground. As the car is raised to a higher elevation, it gains gravitational potential energy, which can be converted into kinetic energy when the car moves downhill.
