Energy is possessed by virtue of position, shape or motion or all the three properties. Generally potential energy is at first stored in a body which is released as kinetic energy when the body is in motion. But suppose if a body is thrown upwards vertically its kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy.
What else can I help you with?
A pole -vaulter first converts kinetic energy into?
Elastic Potential Energy
How do you convert potential energy into kinetic?
If you fired a bullet vertically upward, it would have kinetic energy at first, when it gets to the top of its travel this would all have been converted to potential energy.
When does potential energy equal kinetic energy?
well kinetic energy is when some thing is moving and potential energy is the highest point so think of it this way a boy siting in his chair sitting still and a girl standing up jog in place the girl has potential and kinetic
How kinetic energy and potential energy vary?
Well, the most potential energy is when your going slow or your stopped. The most kinetic energy is like at the bottom of a hill over the first hump in a rollarcoaster, when your going your fastest. Your speed and probably friction will affect it.
The conversion of potential energy in coal into the kinetic energy that heats steam is an expression of?
The conversion of potential energy in coal into kinetic energy that heats steam is an expression of the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. In this case, the potential energy stored in coal is transformed into kinetic energy in the form of heat to generate steam power.
Describe a stone falling off the tabletop in terms of both kinetic energy and potential energy?
Sitting on the table the stone has potential energy, relative to the ground, of weight times height, mgh. It has zero kinetic energy so its total energy is E = 0 + mgh. When it begins falling it loses potential energy (as it loses height) and gains kinetic energy ( as it picks up speed) so the sum stays the same as initially E = KE + PE = mgh. Just before it hits the ground all of its potential energy is gone and has been transformed into kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy at the bottom (1/2)mv^2 will equal the potential energy at the top.
How are potential energy and kinetic energy transferred on the first hill of a roller coaster?
At the top of the first hill, PE is at its maximum, whereas KE is zero. When the train starts to fall down the first hill, PE decreases and KE increases. At the bottom of the hill, KE is at its maximum, and PE is zero.
When you move your hand or foot your body has converted potential energy into what type of energy?
Isn't the answer kinetic energy or something along the lines of that? I'm an eighth grader with a basic understanding of energy, and that's the first that comes to mind....
How can energy be kinetic?
If you fired a bullet vertically upward, it would have kinetic energy at first, when it gets to the top of its travel this would all have been converted to potential energy.
A roller coaster going down the first hill is an example of what type of energy?
It is kinetic energy because it is in motion.Jesus loves you! A car rolling down a hill is an example of which type of energy?kinetic...Potential energy
What happened to the gravitational potential energy the ball had after i dropped the ball?
Whenever an object falls, its potential energy is first of all converted to kinetic energy.
What is the force used to pull a coaster down the first hill?
The potential energy that is released changes into kinetic energy.
