Is total energy of revolving electron in an atom zero?

actually total energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy....potential energy= -2*kinetic energy . By using this relation you will get that sum of potential and kinetic energy is equal to the magnitude of kinetic energy and it is less than zero...hope this will be enough for you....


What type of energy is sound energy?

The energy in a sound wave is both kinetic and potential.Just as in a vibrating spring, the medium has mass and moves and so moving mass is kinetic energy.Just as in the spring there is compression and rarefaction, so there is elastic potential energy.In fact, these two are equal, potential energy = kinetic energy, just like a spring.Just like in a vibrating spring, the total energy is constant and equal to the average kinetic energy plus the average potential energy.


Why is sound energy kinetic energy?

Sound is the movement of a medium at frequencies we can hear. As it always involves movement of a medium, either a solid, liquid or gas to be transmitted it will involve kinetic energy at times. Note that kinetic energy is the energy stored in a moving mass. Sound waves carry energy with a combination of both kinetic and potential energy. There are two moments in every cycle where there is no movement and therefore no kinetic energy. These two points are at the upper and lower peaks of the wave.


What energy is the total kinetic and potential energy in a system?

Mechanical energy


How does kinetic energy and potential energy switch?

work=change in kinetic energy, doing work on an object by moving it up increases that object's potential energy because it has the POTENTIAL to fall due to gravity. kinetic energy is lost in the movement of the object. However, throughout an entire closed system, the total energy in joules (or kinetic enery plus potential energy) does remain constant. this is useful because the initial energy and the final energy most be equal, and if thats true, then initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy must equal final kinetic energy plus final potential energy. does that help?

How much of the total energy in problems 3 and 4 has been transformed to kinetic energy?

37 percent of the total energy in Problem-3 was transformed to kinetic energy. Once it was moving, it was routed over to Problem-4, where it is being stored.


What 2 factors does the kinetic energy depend on?

It depends on mass and velocity. ans : it depends on the mass & speed of the moving object. no, it depends on the work & energy.


A bike rider approaches a hill with a speed of 8.5 ms the total mass of the bike and the rider is 85 kgit has a kinetic energy of 3.1x103 Joules No frictionWhat height will the bike if come stop?

You can use the formula for kinetic energy to verify the total kinetic energy (KE = 0.5mv2). Then, assuming all the energy is converted to (gravitational) potential energy, use the formula for potential energy, and solve for height. (PE = mgh)
