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.

What happens to potential energy of an object as it falls?

It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)


What happens to kinetic energy when a machine stops?

It is converted into mostly potential (stored) energy.


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.


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)


As height increases what happens to kinetic energy?

As height increases, the potential energy of an object also increases while the kinetic energy remains the same. When the object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


Is potential energy was converted to kinetic energy?

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


What happens to the gravitational potential energy as the pendulum starts back up towards its highest point?

The pendulum's momentum or kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy until all of the kinetic energy is converted. The pendulum stops.


When Bruce lets go of the weight what happens to its energy?

When Bruce lets go of the weight, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls due to gravity. This kinetic energy is transferred into other forms of energy, such as sound and heat, upon impact with the ground.


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.


How is kinetic energy different from potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.


Is kinetic energy the same as potential energy?

No, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.
