What does a meteors kinetic energy get converted into when it collides with the earth at the moment I have sound and heat and kinetic energy in the rocks is there anymore and are those right?

That is basically correct. While the meteor is in the air, its kinetic energy will be converted to heat, light, and sound energy. I believe you forgot the light energy. Once the meteor crashes into the Earth, yes, the kinetic energy will be transferred to whatever it crashes into. Much of this might then be converted to heat energy, but in the case of a large meteor, it might generate powerful tsunamis and earthquakes, which also carry away energy from the point of impact.


How is kinetic energy converted into force?

Kinetic energy is converted into force through the process of an object in motion colliding with another object or surface. When the object in motion comes into contact with another object, the kinetic energy is transferred, causing a force to be exerted on the object it collides with. This force is a result of the change in momentum of the objects involved in the collision.


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 potential energy was converted to kinetic energy?

It CAN be converted to kinetic energy, but it won't always do so.


Where does potential energy go when it is converted into kinetic energy?

When potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, it is transformed into the energy of motion.


What type of energy can be converted to kinetic energy when it is used to do work?

Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy when it is used to do work.


What is the same has kinetic?

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, as seen in a swinging pendulum where potential energy at the highest point is converted into kinetic energy at the lowest point.


What is the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy. The two are related because potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy and vice versa.


Why potential energy can not be converted into kinetic energy?

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy. For example, when an object is released from a height, its potential energy due to gravity is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. This conversion follows the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.


What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?

If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.


Which describes the energy conversions used to make a car down the street?

Assuming it just rolls down a slope, without the engines working: gravitational potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.


What kind of energy in car engine?

Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
