What happens to the kinetic energy of a snowball as it rolls across the lawn and gain mass?

That depends on what happens to its speed. The formula for kinetic energy is:KE = m(v)^2, in which m is mass in kg and vis speed in m/s.If either the mass or the speed increases, the kinetic energy will increase. So if the mass of the rolling snowball increases, but the speed remains constant, its kinetic energy will increase.However, in reality, due to friction between the snowball and the ground, the speed will decrease until the snowball stops. So the kinetic energy under natural conditions would decrease, even though the mass increases.


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).


When a moving train stops kinetic energy is changed to?

heat energy in the breaks. The breaks heat up.


Is there a connection between absolute zero and potential and kinetic energy?

Absolute zero is the (theoretical) limit at which all molecular movement stops (that means that the total kinetic energy of all the molecules in the substance being cooled to absolute zero becomes zero).


What happens to a substance when you remove kinetic energy?

The particles will begin to lock into place.

It is converted into mostly potential (stored) energy.


What happens to the kinetic energy when it stops?

When pendulum stops has the kinetic energy changed to potential energy?

As the pendulum stops swinging, its maximum kinetic energy (the initial energy at the beginning of the swing) decreases, and its potential energy increases. Once the pendulum stops, it will have zero kinetic energy and maximum potential energy.


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.


What does mechanical energy in own words?

Mechanical energy is a combination of its potential and kinetic energy. For example when a goes forward that is potential energy when it stops that is kinetic energy. thanks(:


A glass of water is stirred and then allowed to stand until the water stops movingwhat has happened to the kinetic energy of the moving water?

The kinetic energy has been transformed into potential energy as the water slows down and stops moving.


What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?

A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it. The atoms/molecules of a substance have kinetic energy associated with them. This kinetic energy is the result of atomic and/or molecular motion. As a sample of matter cools, the atoms and/or molecules will lose mobility. Loss of mobility and vibrational energy, which are forms of kinetic energy, will become apparent when thermal energy is removed from the sample.


Does a rolling ball eventually lose it energy?

No. It has potential energy once it stops. and when it moves, it has kinetic energy. it always has energy

When a moving train stops kinetic energy is changes to what kind of energy?

Heat energy cause it stops and let's off all the heat it just gained from the train tracks.
