Who has the most kinetic energy a person running in a race or a plane in flight?
A plane in flight. It has both the greater mass, and the greater speed.
Does the inside of a plane have Kinetic Energy?
Each mass object in there has.That's why it's harder to take off when the plane is full ... the engines have to pump all that kinetic energyinto every suitcase and body inside.
How does a yo yo transfer both potential and kinetic energy?
The yoyo is a good example of how potential and kinetic energy can oscillate. When fully up and stationary it has zero kinetic and only potential, when it is fully down and rotating at max speed this energy has been converted to kinetic, then it climbs up again, and so on. The player has to keep providing a small input of energy to overcome friction losses.
How can an adjustable inclined plane be used to measure the coefficient of static friction and coefficient of kinetic friction?
Place the object on the plane. Slowly increase the angle of the plane until the object begins to move at angle Θ. The µs = tan Θ. For µk, same process, but give the object a little push at each increasing value of Θ.
Can kinetic energy be changed back to potential energy?
Kinetic and Potential EnergyHistoryA roller coaster train going down hill represents merely a complex case as a body is descending an inclined plane. Newton's first two laws relate force and acceleration, which are key concepts in roller coaster physics. At amusement parks, Newton's laws can be applied to every ride. These rides range from 'The Swings' to The 'Hammer'. Newton was also one of the developers of calculus which is essential to analyzing falling bodies constrained on more complex paths than inclined planes. A roller coaster rider is in an gravitational field except with the Principle of Equivalence.Potential EnergyPotential energy is the same as stored energy. The "stored" energy is held within the gravitational field. When you lift a heavy object you exert energy which later will become kinetic energy when the object is dropped. A lift motor from a roller coaster exerts potential energy when lifting the train to the top of the hill. The higher the train is lifted by the motor the more potential energy is produced; thus, forming a greater amount if kinetic energy when the train is dropped. At the top of the hills the train has a huge amount of potential energy, but it has very little kinetic energy.Kinetic EnergyThe word "kinetic" is derived from the Greek word meaning to move, and the word "energy" is the ability to move. Thus, "kinetic energy" is the energy of motion --it's ability to do work. The faster the body moves the more kinetic energy is produced. The greater the mass and speed of an object the more kinetic energy there will be. As the train accelerates down the hill the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. There is very little potential energy at the bottom of the hill, but there is a great amount of kinetic energy.TheoryWhen the train is at the top and bottom of the hill there is not any potential or kinetic energy being used at all. The train at the bottom of the first drop should have enough energy to get back up the height of the lift hill. The "Act of Faith" in riding these amazing rides which seems more of a phenomena that is only a theory. In practices, the train never could make it back up the hill because of dissipative forces. Friction and air resistance, and even possible mid-course breaks, are dissipative forces causing the theory to be changed but not destroyed. These forces make it impossible for the train to have enough energy to make it back up the lift hill's height. In the absence of the dissipative forces the potential and kinetic energies(mechanical energy) will remain the same. Since the mechanical energy is destroyed by the forces, the first hill is always the highest
Where is the maximum kinetic energy on the inclined plane?
At the point where the velocity is the maximum
Does kinetic energy decreases as a box accelerates down an inclined plane?
Kinetic energy increases; potential energy decreases, because the object is now in motion
What energy transformation takes place when an object is pushed up an inclined plane?
chemical energy -----> potential energy -------> kinetic energy
How is energy transferred into an inclined plane?
Energy is transferred into an inclined by effort
A wooden block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless inclined plan and slides down to the bottomWhat convertions of energy are taking place as the block goes down the inclined plane?
Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
What makes a ball speed up when it is traveling down an inclined plane?
The conversion of Potential Energy (the energy something has as a result of its position in a gravity field) into Kinetic energy (the energy of a mass in movement).
What type of energy does a plane landing on the runway have?
When a plane is landing on the runway, it primarily has kinetic energy. As the aircraft descends, its potential energy decreases but is converted into kinetic energy as it gains speed. The kinetic energy is then used for braking and stopping the plane on the runway.
Is a plane moving kinetic energy?
kinetic energy is motion energy, therefore any object that is moving possesses kinetic energy.
If the same model plane travel 3 times faster than the same model airplane what is the kinetic energy of the faster plane?
The kinetic energy of an object varies as the square of its velocity (Kinetic energy = mv2/2). So a plane with the same mass travelling at 3 times the velocity will have 9 times the kinetic energy.
What simple machine is a staircase?
an inclined plane. Take out the steps on a staircase. It looks like a line that goes up at an angle right? That's basically what in inclined plane is. It is a basic function that exerts smaller amounts of energy over a longer period of time. In simpler terms, it makes going upstairs easier than climbing a ladder to the upper floor.
You watch your friend take off in a jet plane and you comment on the kinetic energy she has acquired But she says she has no such increaze in kinetic energy Who is correct?
You are correct. When the jet moved, she moved with it. If she was moving faster than she was before, then she gained kinetic energy. She lost that kinetic energy when the plane touched down and came to a stop.
What type of energy does a plane have taking off?
If the plane is taking off it will be moving which is kinetic energy... hope this helps
