What energy is used when a person is falling from a building?
It is kinetic. Someone/something going from its gravitational (not moving) energy to then moving, creates kinetic energy, because it goes from stationary to moving. GRAVITATIONAL ------> KINETIC
Is hydropower potential or kinetic?
If you're careful, you'll realize that you always hear of kinetic or potential "energy",but not "power".Potential 'energy' resides in an object or a chemical compound, waiting to bereleased and used. Kinetic 'energy' resides in a moving object on account of itsmotion. Neither of these situations involves 'power'. Power is the rate at whichenergy is moved, used, or converted from one form to another. If potential energyis removed from a physical or chemical bucket where it's been stored, or some ofthe kinetic energy of a moving object is robbed somehow, then the rate at whichthe energy goes somewhere else is power.We go to places where water has a lot of potential energy because of its height,and where the potential energy is about to become kinetic energy as the waterpours over the edge and begins to fall. Then we stick something into the fallingwater that can rob some of that kinetic energy, and we use it to run an electricgenerator. The rate at which we're able to divert kinetic energy from the fallingwater is the hydro power we get.
Is kinetic energy the energy that is stored but not being used?
No. Kinetic energy is energy related to movement.
What are the variable units for kinetic energy?
Any unit that you can use for energy can be used for kinetic energy.
Can kinetic energy be used up?
No energy cant be created or destroyed. It can only be converted into something else. Its the basic law of physics.
Which best describes the energy conversion that happens when hydroelectric power plants are used to make electricity?
Kinetic energy to electrical energy

How is energy transformed into a form that can be used to accomplish tasks?
Energy can change the forms (from potential to kinetic) and be used to power engines or heat up objects. Combustible oils can power a car engine and in the process, the energy changes from potential to kinetic forms.
What is the difference between Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy?
POTENTIAL ENERGY is energy when something has energy but is currently stored and not being used. Example: Batteries have electrical energy stored in them but is not used until put inside of a camera, controller, remote, and etc. KINETIC ENERGY is energy when something is being moved, thrown, rolled, or spun by force. Example: When a football is thrown from the Quarterback to the Receiver, the ball is thrown using KINETIC ENERGY.
What is Kinetic EnergyHow is it used?
Kinetic energy is the energy which possesses motion. It is used when there is motion.
What type of energy is used when one rides a horse?
Kinetic energy is used when you ride a Horse
What is kinetic used for?
kinetic energy is used in rolarcoasters! fun!
