What are the Similarities of kinetic and potential energy?
Only that both are energy - which can, in many cases, be converted from one type to another.
If the Kinetic Energy equals five what would the Potential Energy equal?
Kinetic energy and potential energy are not usually proportional. In the general situation, you can't derive potential energy from kinetic energy. In specific cases, sometimes you can - especially if you assume that potential energy that existed previously got converted to kinetic energy, or vice versa.Kinetic energy and potential energy are not usually proportional.

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.
When a car is braked to a stop what is its kinetic energy transformed into?
The braking of a vehicle involves a serious of energy transformations. The application of hydraulic pressure onto the caliper piston pushes the friction material against the rotors. In simplest terms the vehicle's kinetic energy is being converted into intense heat generated by the brake pads and rotors. In turn the vehicle slows down and can ultimately stop.
Can kinetic energy become potential energy?
Energy is never created or destroyed, but different forms of energy can be converted into another. For example, potential energy is the energy of position; a pendulum at the peak of its swing, or a spring tightly compressed. It can be converted into kinetic energy, for example, the pendulum swinging rapidly at the bottom of the swing, or the object propelled by the spring.
When you hit a wall with a stick what is the equal but opposite reaction?
While swinging the stick you have created potential energy within the stick's swing. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the stick contacts the wall; but as the wall does not move, or moves quite neglibly, the kinetic energy is converted into loud sound energy. Nevertheless, not all of the kinetic energy is converted: the stick itself reacts, and there is a severe vibration that 'backfires' through the stick itself, if it is still held. In some cases, the stick will break. There is also a miniscule reaction-vibration through the wall itself. Additionally, what is not converted to any of these other energies is converted into heat energy at the point where the stick contacted the wall - both, on the stick and on the wall.
Are wind generators really cost effective?
Yes, the turbines are devices the convert kinetic energy in wind and transforming it into the mechanical energy of a rotating shaft. This is converted into energy. So using wind for our energy is very cost effective. Typically, wind generators will lower your electric bill by at least 50%. In some cases, if your turbine produces power exceeding your household usage, your electric company may purchase the additional power from you.
Would a book on a table one meter above the floor have more kinetic energy than a book resting on a floor?
No. Kinetic energy would be zero in both cases. The book in the higher position has more potential energy.No. Kinetic energy would be zero in both cases. The book in the higher position has more potential energy.No. Kinetic energy would be zero in both cases. The book in the higher position has more potential energy.No. Kinetic energy would be zero in both cases. The book in the higher position has more potential energy.
What kinds of things move energy?
Various things can move energy, such as physical objects (like a ball rolling down a hill transferring kinetic energy), electric currents transferring electrical energy, or even vibrations transferring sound energy. In all cases, the energy is transferred from one form to another through these movements.
What happened to energy after it use?
It is changed into a different form of energy as it cannot be destroyed (First law of thermodynamics) usually kinetic energy of the molecules
What is the extra energy converted to when energy is transformed?
In most cases it is found as heat.
What ue is energy that we want to transfer?
The type of energy that we want to transfer is typically kinetic energy, the energy of motion. In many cases, we transfer kinetic energy from one object to another by applying a force to move the object.
