What happens to matter when it gains kinetic energy?
When an object gains kinetic energy, it moves faster.
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 an object's kinetic energy when its speed doubles?
-It increases
When Bruce lets go of the weight what happens to its energy?
When an object falls down, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What does it mean if an object has no kinetic energy?
an object has no kinetic energy if it is not moving
What happens when kinetic energy is absorbed as an object moves toward the earth?
The kinetic energy increases as the velocity increases (KE = 1/2mv2) until terminal velocity is reached, at which point the velocity becomes constant, and kinetic energy will no longer increase. The potential energy and kinetic energy will be at equilibrium, where PE = -KE.

What happens when a kinetic energy transferred from object to object?
it absorbs it and passes it on.
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 an object as its kinetic energy increase?
It speeds up.

-It increases

What happens to an object kinetic energy if the object speed increases?
The kinetic energy will increase. Kinetic energy is defined by K=one half mv2 where m is the mass of the object, and v is the velocity of the object. The greater the velocity, the greater the kinetic energy. Since the velocity is squared, increasing it will cause the kinetic energy to grow much faster than if you increased the mass.
What happens to an object's potential energy as it gains kinetic energy?
It's potential energy decreases.
What happens to potential energy of an object as it falls?
It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
What happens to an object when it's kinetic energy increases?
It gets faster
