What two things do potential and kinetic energy need to gain more energy?

Well, basically, the higher an object is above the ground, the more potential energy it has. For kinetic energy, the amount of energy depends on the amount of force.

When a buulet is fired upward verticallyit gains in?
It will gain potential energy, while losing kinetic energy.
What types of energy does a car gain when moving down a ramp?
i guess it potentail energy to kinetic energy
How do objects gain energy?
An object can gain kinetic energy by accelerating or gravitic energy by increasing height, among other things.
Can chemical energy be converted to gravitational potential energy?
By using chemicals in a rocket engine to raise a vehicle high above the earth's surface, the vehicle will gain gravitational potential energy. It will also gain kinetic energy, depending on what trajectory it follows
Can an object gain more energy?
Sure, you can add energy to an object. For example, you can heat an object up (to have it gain heat energy), you can raise it (to have it gain gravitational potential energy), or you can make it move (to have it gain kinetic energy). In each case, the energy has to come from somewhere.
When does a coaster have a large amount of Kinetic Energy and when does it have a large amount of Potential Energy?
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
Suppose a falling object loses 7J of potential energy. How much kinetic energy will it gain?
From what I understand: PE - Potential Energy (mgh) KE - Kinetic Energy (1/2 mv2) If one dismisses the friction with air (conservation of energy), a loss of 7 joules for potential energy means a gain of 7 Joules in kinetic energy.

What type of energy does a jet have at the point of takeoff?
At takeoff the jet has a relatively little amount of kinetic energy, no potential energy, and a lot of chemical energy in the unburned fuel.It uses the fuel to gain height (potential energy) and speed (kinetic energy).
What you know about kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy produced when an object is in motion, When applying a potential energy to an object (REMEMBER THAT POTENTIAL ENERGY IS THE STORED ENERGY FOLLOWED BY AN ACTION) and when the object is released to gain motion it has now a kinetic energy. For example: If a Newton ball from a newton's cradle is taken back and released that potential (BY MOVING IT BACKWARDS) Is transformed into kinetic energy when in motion. Kinetic energy is measured in Ns and the formula is Ek= 1/2mV2.

How does the sea gain kinetic energy?
there is tide formation in sea sdue to gravitational pull of sun and moon and thus potential energy which on falling gets converted to kinetic energy

Why does a moving object gain mass?
Mass is the sum of energies, both kinetic and potential. As the velocity increases so does the kinetic energy of object.
