When a person climbs stairs what form of energy is being converted into gravitational potential energy?
Energy stored in your muscles, which ultimately comes from the food you eat.
How does kinetic energy of the ball relate to the bounce of the ball?
kinetic energy is enegy being used, the opposite of potential energy, which is energy being stored, or waiting to be used. When a ball bounces it is using its energy. When a ball is held by a person, it holds potential energy, or the potential to use energy.
A person is standing with a drawn bow and arrow. He is aiming it at a bull's-eye. What type of energy is being described?
The energy in the drawn bow is elastic energy, a type of potential energy.
What is energy not being used called?
The energy that is not being used is referred to as the potential energy.
What is an example of thermal energy being transformed into sound energy?
an example of thermal energy being transformed into sound energy is the crackling of a fire
What form of energy is being use when a person pushes a wooden block across the floor?
Kinetic Energy
What form of energy is being used when a person pushes a wooden block across the floor?
Kinetic Energy
Is physical work requiring energy being done if a person pushes on a locked door?
Yes because work is using energy to move something. Anytime we push-pull, work (energy) is used.
Describe the energy transformations that occur when a person pushes a bike to the top of a hill and coasts down?
First it's chemical energy from eaten food that turns into heat, a little bit of kinetic energy and potential energy(pushing the bike uphill). Then it's potential energy turning into kinetic energy and a little bit of heat, along with some further chemical energy being used up.(coasting down)
When being introduced to a new person across a table do you shake hands?
if you can reach them...

Active transport is the process of what?
Active transport is the process of molecules being moved across a membrane using energy. Passive transport moves the molecules without using energy.

Is a lamp that is switched on kinetic energy?
A thing is not energy, it can possess energy. In this case the light, being on, is converting electrical energy to heat and light. The person switching it on, and the switch while it is moving, have kinetic energy.
What is the periodic trend for ionization energy and electron affinity?
Ionization energy increases from left to right across a period, and decreases down a group.
Why do not you feel the heat of cool matters like ice?
Although ice possesses certain amount of heat energy, it is less than that possessed by a person. When a person touches ice, the heat energy from his/her body is transferred to the ice to reach equilibrium (equal amount of heat in the person's body and in the ice). Since heat is not being received that is why it is not felt either. Since heat energy is being given away, a person feels cold.
