It is kinetic. Someone/something going from its gravitational (not moving) energy to then moving, creates kinetic energy, because it goes from stationary to moving.

GRAVITATIONAL ------> KINETIC

How is kinetic energy used in building a roller coaster?

kentic energy is the motion that is used while building the roller coaster.Hard work sweat and tears.


Is kinetic energy more than potential energy?

Both are forms of energy. Potential energy is the available energy that could be used and Kinetic energy is the energy actually being used. Think of Potential energy as being a high cliff with water on top. The higher the cliff the more energy available. If no water is falling though, there is noting being used, But the potential for falling water is still there. Kinetic energy is the water that actually falls.


A 60.0 kg person walks from the ground floor to the roof of a 74.8 m tall building. How much gravitational potential energy does this person have at the top of the building?

Just use the formula for gravitational potential energy:GPE = mgh In the units used, gravity is approximately 9.8 newton/kilogram.


What energy change take place when a plate drop on floor?

The kinetic energy of the falling plate is used up in smashing the plate along with some energy converted to noise (sound energy).


Another example of rising and falling intonation?

Rising and falling intonation is used to convey the meaning of what a person is saying. For example, when a question is asked, the person's intonation usually rises on the last word.


What is gravitational energy used for?

Anything that uses the force of a falling object to do work. For example, water mills, hydroelectric power generators, pile drivers. Even a person jumping (up and) down on earth to flatten it.


What energy is produced from falling water?

when the water is flowing over the the dam with high velocity, it acquires great kinetic energy, when this water is used to turn the turbines, this kinetic energy will be converted into electrical energy. so, when the water flows over the dam, hydroelectricity is produced.


What form energy is used when a person pushes a wooden block across the floor?

Friction is produced and kinetic energy is used


What does it mean when you're falling in love with a person who you used to hate and still do and they are acting nice to you and used to hate you also before?

it means that you finally tried to get a connection with the person you hated.

Why does the Maria Cristina falls in Philippines create hydro electricity?

The energy in falling water can be captured by turbines and used to generate electricity. This is a renewable source of energy and is pollution free.


Are log homes energy efficient?

YES! Log homes are greatly energy efficient and it's proven. For example, the National Bureau of Standards conducted a test to confirm the energy efficiency of log homes. The test results where: 1. During the three-week, spring heating period, the log building used 46% less heating energy than the insulated wood frame building 2. During the eleven-week, summer cooling, period, the log building used 24% less cooling energy than the insulated wood frame building 3. During the fourteen-week, winter heating period, the log building and the insulated wood frame building used virtually the same amounts of heating
