What is an example of potential energy into kentic energy?
A falling object.A falling object.A falling object.A falling object.
Why the kinetic energy is zero for object falling towards Earth from space?
It isn't. Kinetic energy is 1/2 x mass x speed squared, so if an object has mass, and it moves, it follows that it has kinetic energy.
When water evaporates it cools the surface left behind what is this called?
It is called vaporization, and it happens because the water vapor is taking away some of the heat in the form of energy, and so the surface has less heat energy.
What best explains what happens when liquid water evaporates to form water vapor?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere.The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
How do you find the kinetic energy of a falling nickel?
1) measure its mass and velocity. 2) Measure where its falling from. (the kinetic energy will equal the potential energy up to the instant the nickel stops).
What happens the the kinetic energy of a falling object?
If the object's falling energy increases (this would happen if the object is already falling downward, and air resistance is small), then the kinetic energy will increase.
What happens to kinetic energy of a falling book when the book hits the floor?
turns into vibration and heat energy.
How does the increase in thermal energy of the cylinder relate to the mass of the falling object?
Thermal energy is generated by the friction with the air (air resistance), it does not depend on the mass but the surface area of a falling object.
What happens when surface water gains energy?
well, it gwets hot
What is an example of potential energy into kentic energy?
A falling object.A falling object.A falling object.A falling object.
What happens to most of the energy when earth surface absorbs light?
Most of the light's energy gets converted into heat.
What happens to that energy from the sun that is absorbed by earth surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
Consider al bouncing ball were would the ball have least gravitationl energy?
gravitational energy is the same as potential and kinetic energy. When the ball is further from the surface of the earth it will have the most potential energy and when the ball gets closer to the surface of the earth that potential energy turns into kinetic energy because it is being used to move the ball towards the surface.
What happens to an apples kinetic and patential energy falling from a tree?
As the apple falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases, until it lands, at which point it has maximum potential energy.
What happens to solar energy that is not absorbed by earth's surface?
Most of it is reflected back into space.
What happens to the solar energy that is not absorbed by Earth's surface?
Most of it is reflected back into space.
