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 happens when pontential energy ins't completely converted to kinetic energy?
Then part of the potential energy will either remain as potential energy, or be converted into some other type of energy.
Potential energy related to an objects height?
Yes, it is based on both. Potential energy (gravitational potential energy, to be more precise) is simply the weight multiplied by the height.
What happens to electrons during cellular respiration?
They lose potential energy.
What happens when fuel such as coal or gasoline burns?
we release the potential energy to heat energy to do work
As speed increases what happens to potential energy?
Potential energy is unrelated to speed.
When attractive force increases what happens to potential energy?
Potential energy will decrease.
What happens to potential energy when the speed is increased?
Potential energy is not affected by speed.
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.
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 happens to the potential energy of the molecules in a?
The potential energy of the molecules change during a reaction.
What happens to the potential energy of the molecule in the reaction?
The potential energy of the molecules change during a reaction.
What happens to the potential energy of the resulting compound when a chemical bond forms?
The potential energy is transformed to heat or light energy
When negative work is being done what happens to potential energy?
Negative work increases potential energy.
What happens to potential energy as a squashed ball regains it shape?
Its potential energy increases as it regains its shape.
