Which is the greater energy the potential energy or kinetic energy?

Typically higher. Consider a gas. The air you breath is made up of billions of particles flying around all over the place. When the air is warm, these particles move faster than if the air was cold. In that sense, temperature is higher if kinetic energy is great.

If you throw a stone up into the air you impart kinetic energy to it. As it rises, it loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy until it reaches its maximum height. If you were to reach up and hold it there the stone would retain that maximum potential energy and, because it would remain motionless, it would have no kinetic energy. Once allowed to fall from its maximum height the stone would give up its potential energy gradually and gain kinetic energy as it sped up towards the ground. When it hit the ground it would have no potential energy (with respect to ground level) but maximum kinetic energy.

Wiki User
∙ 11y agoTemperature is a measure of average kinetic energy. As kinetic energy increases, the temperature increases. As KE decreases, the temperature decreases.

What type of energy is possessed by a planet revolving around sun?
It is a combination of kinetic energy, and potential energy. Kinetic energy is related to the planet's movement; and the farther away a planet is from the Sun, the greater its potential energy.
Is Kientic energy greater than potential energy?
potential energy is when something has the ability to use kinetic energy so it really depends on how much energy that something has
What energy has to do with potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic Energy+Potential Energy=Mechanical Energy (KE+PE=ME)
Is a tractor pulling plow kinetic energy or potential energy?
Kinetic energy because kinetic energy moves and potential energy stays in place
Object hanging on a tree a kinetic or potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.
Why can't kinetic energy be greater than potential energy?
Kinetic energy - the energy of a mass in motion CAN be greater than the potential energy of the mass.The kinetic energy of a comet hitting the Earth would be far greater than the potential energy of the comet once it entered Earth gravity field.
Why is potential energy greater than kinetic energy?
It isn't so. Potential energy can be greater, or less, for a given object, depending on its position and its speed.
How does potential and kinetic energy affected by the mass of the ball?
Other things being equal, both potential and kinetic energy will be larger if the mass is greater.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
How does potential energy in a ball changed to kinetic energy?
Potential energy is stationary object while if that object is in motion then it is said that that now that object posseses kinetic energy. so if that ball is on table it posses p.e. and if u throw it carries p.e.
If two skydivers are the same distance from the ground the one with the greater mass will have greater aeilnoptt energy?
potential energy.
What type of energy is possessed by a planet revolving around sun?
It is a combination of kinetic energy, and potential energy. Kinetic energy is related to the planet's movement; and the farther away a planet is from the Sun, the greater its potential energy.
What are the two main forms of energy?
The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.
If an object that moves faster does it have greater potential energy?
no. if an object moves faster its kinetic energy increases but at the same time its potential energy decreases.
Is Kientic energy greater than potential energy?
potential energy is when something has the ability to use kinetic energy so it really depends on how much energy that something has
An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
What is the total kinetic energy and potential energy?
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
