Potential energy is when something is about to release its energy. Think of at a rollercoaster when it reaches the top, right before it is about to fall. That is potential energy because it could fall which will release the energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that is being released at that moment. For instance, the rollercoaster falling, it is being pulled downwards which is the kinetic energy.
potential energy is changed to kinetic energy when you push.
potential energy
Yes
Energy transfer occurs when potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.
Energy transfer occurs when potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.
Energy transfer occurs when potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.
As gravity pulls water down a slope, the water's potential energy changes to kinetic energy that can do work.
An example of kinetic energy being changed to potential energy and back again is a pendulum swinging. As the pendulum swings upward, its kinetic energy decreases while its potential energy increases. At the highest point of the swing, all the kinetic energy has been converted to potential energy. As it swings back down, the potential energy decreases while the kinetic energy increases.
potential into kinetic
Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy when an object falls or is in motion. As the object moves downwards due to gravity, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases. This conversion occurs through the work done by the gravitational force as the object moves.
The boulder falling through the air has kinetic energy. This is the energy possessed by an object in motion.
When one form of energy (kinetic energy, potential energy, chemical energy ,ect) is changed into another energy (chemical, kinetic, sound, ect)
