Chemical energy stored in the body is converted to mechanical (kinetic) energy as the pump is operated (this assumes a manual pump). Next, kinetic energy coupled into the pump is converted to potential energy in the form of compressed air and a stressed ball.

Which has more thermal energy a 5kg bowling ball that has been resting for 4 hours on a driveway or the same bowling ball rolling down an alley in an air-conditioned bowling alley?

the second one because the little friction turns to thermal energy while the first one... no energy transformations are occuring. except potential energy


Describe the energy transformation that occur when you bounce a ball?

When the ball hits the ground, kinetic energy is turned into potential energy and stored momentarily as the ball compresses. As the ball rebounds, the potential energy is converted back to kinetic energy. Some energy is also lost in the form of heat and air waves (sound). This continues with each bounce and due to the loss of energy, the ball gradually stops bouncing.


Describe the conversions between potential and kinetic energy that occur when you shoot a basketball in a basket?

When the ball is positioned in your hands it has full potential energy. As you move and the ball is thrown at the basket, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, by the transfer of kinetic energy from your arms, to your hands, to the ball. When the ball hits the basket some of its kinetic energy was converted into potential energy and then back into kinetic energy as it hit the ground.


Explain what happens inside the ball when you pump a flat basketball?

The inside of the ball becomes filled with the air you pump in, thus inflating the ball and turning it from a flat ball to a round one.


Which has more thermal energy a 5kg bowling ball that has been resting n a hot driveway for 4 hours on a 35 Celsius day or the same bowling ball rolling down a lane in air conditioned bowling alley?

A ball is thrown straight up into the air at what position is its gravitational potential energy maximum?

Kinetic energy is at its maximum when the velocity of the ball is greatest. This will occur immediately upon release. Air resistance will slow the ball from this point and unless the ball falls back past its original starting height, it will never achieve a velocity greater than that with which it starts.


What kind of energy does a ball have?

-- A ball on a shelf has gravitational potential energy with respect to the floor. -- A ball in motion has kinetic energy. -- A ball of fire has heat energy. -- A ball of trinitrotoluene has chemical energy. -- A ball of charged pith has static electric energy. -- A ball of U235 has nuclear energy.
