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 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 type of energy is kinetic and potential?
Kinetic and potential energy are types of mechanical energy.
Can objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
Execute a swan dive would be kinetic energy or potential energy?
Potential energy
Differentiate kinetic energy from potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy something has because it is moving. Potential energy is the energy something has because of its position or configuration.
What happens to molecules as their potential energy increase?
will be transformed into kinetic energy
What affects potential?
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.
What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?
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.
When a puck falls it potential energy increase or decrease?
Kinetic energy
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 An Object falls towards the ground what Happens to the potential energy of the Object?
As an object falls from a higher level to a lower level, the gravitational potential energy that it had at the higher level changes to kinetic energy. As more and more potential energy changes to more and more kinetic energy, the increase of kinetic energy shows up in the form of greater speed.
When a spring compresses does its kinetic energy increase?
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
What happens to its potential energy as it passes to the lowest point?
potential energy changes to kinetic energy
What happens to an object's potential energy as it gains kinetic energy?
It's potential energy decreases.
What kind of energy transformation happens in a waterfall?
kinetic energy
How does increasing speed affect potential energy?
Increasing the speed will increase the KINETIC energy, not the potential energy. Of course, the potential energy may eventually be converted into kinetic energy, for example if the object moves upwards.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
