Is the energy stored in a compressed spring called kinetic energy?
No, it is called potential energy. When the compressed spring is allowed to expand, then it becomes kinetic energy.
What kind of energy does a rolling toy have (rolling toy)?
It has kinetic energy.
Is the energy stored in the bonds between atoms potential or kinetic energy?
It is potential energy. It becomes kinetic when a bond is broken.
The energy an object has because of its motion is called potential energy?
No. Energy related to motion is called kinetic energy; energy related to position is called potential energy.No. Energy related to motion is called kinetic energy; energy related to position is called potential energy.No. Energy related to motion is called kinetic energy; energy related to position is called potential energy.No. Energy related to motion is called kinetic energy; energy related to position is called potential energy.
When does potential energy turn into kinetic energy?
when an object moves, it becomes kinetic energy. example-a rollercoaster
Energy due to position is called?
kinetic kinetic
How can you tell kinetic energey and potential energy apart?
Potential energy is energy that is soon to become kinetic energy.Say there is a rock on the top of a hill.That is potential energy.When it falls it becomes kinetic energy.
Can potential energy be described as energy of motion?
No, potential energy is the energy of position. The energy of motion is called kinetic energy.No, potential energy is the energy of position. The energy of motion is called kinetic energy.No, potential energy is the energy of position. The energy of motion is called kinetic energy.No, potential energy is the energy of position. The energy of motion is called kinetic energy.
When potential energy change to kinetic energy this is called?
When potential energy changes to kinetic energy, it is called "energy transformation" or "energy conversion."
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.
Is potential energy different than kinetic energy?
The energy stored in a body due to its motion is called kinetic energy. The energy stored in a body due to its position (height) or shape is called potential energy. So a body at rest may have potential energy but it has no kinetic energy.
What can be rolled down a surface?
potential energy- stored energy kinetic energy- moving energy if a person slides down a slide is called potenial energy to kinetic energy if someone goes up an escalator is called kinetic energy to potential energy potential energy in other words is called the reaching a higher point kinetic energy in other words is called the reaching a lower point
