The potential energy of a freely falling body decreases continuouslyWhat happens to the loss of potential energy?
It becomes kinetic energy. And as an object goes up against gravity, it gains potential energy and loses kinetic energy.
What is energy from gravity?
gravitational potential energy arises from the law of gravity
How does the energy associated with a bicycle change as it speeds up going downhill?
The energy associated with a bicycle changes as it speeds up going downhill due to the fact that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the position. The kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
What is the formula of gravity potential energy?
PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height).
Is gravity energy?
No. Gravity is a force. Potential energy turns into kinetic (moving) energy when you fall due to gravity.
Gravity your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and it when you are driving downhill?
it is both kinetic and potential energy
What happens to the potential energy of the water in a river as gravity pulls the water downhill?
Since potential energy is proportional to elevation, the potential energy of water gets less and less as it goes downhill.Its kinetic energy (based on velocity) may well increase, but the question asked about potential energy.
Is coasting downhill on a bike a chemical energy?
No, it's potential energy turning into kinetic energy.

As an object moves downhill some of the energy is?
Before it rolls downhill, it has gravitational potential energy. As it rolls downhill, part of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (including rotational energy); due to friction, this will soon be converted into waste energy, mainly heat.

What does not require energy?
Water flowing downhill does not require energy, only the force of gravity.
Is gravity energy?
No. Gravity is a force. Potential energy turns into kinetic (moving) energy when you fall due to gravity.
When rolling downhill a rollar coasters potential energy is converted?
Yes. At the top of the hill, the potential energy is at a maximum. As the coaster is rolling down the hill, the potential energy (or energy due to the coaster's position or height), is converted into kinetic energy (as the roller coaster is rushing downhill).

What does gravitational potential energy depend on of the object?
Mass, Height, and Gravity Gravitational Potential Energy= Mass * gravity * height
