What is an objects total and potential energy?
An objects total kinetic and potential energy is when both things are moving (kinetic) and the energy is stored in the object (potential)
What two things do you need to increase the kinetic energy of an object?
speed and potential energy
What are Kinetic and Potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy that make things move. They are known as the "Movement Energy". Potential energy is the energy stored in object, waiting to be used.
What two things give an object more potential energy?
Resting and relaxing.
When an object falls and touches ground the kinetic energy transforms to which energy?
Heat, sound and more kinetic energy as things are moved by the impact of the object.
WHAT IS AN OBJECT TOTAL KINETIC AND POTENTIAL ENERGY?
An objects total kinetic and potential energy is when both things are moving (kinetic) and the energy is stored in the object (potential)
What things use potential energy?
refrigirarors, tv and any object that doesnt move.
Thermal energy is energy stored by things that stretch or compress?
Thermal energy is not the energy stored by things that stretch or compress. This type of energy applies to strain potential energy. Thermal energy refers to motion energy due to the random vibration of atoms or molecules within an object.
What things store potential energy?
Several things, depending on the type of potential energy. Gravitational potential energy: Any object that is above the chosen reference level (often the ground level) has positive potential energy. Anything below the chosen reference level has negative potential energy. Elastic potential energy: For example, a compressed spring. Chemical energy: For example, hydrogen and oxygen separately have a higher energy level than when they combine into water.
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.
What energy is stored in bent things?
If the bent object will spring back to it's original shape when you let go of it, then the stored energy is known as elastic potential energy.
How does potential energy effect kintetic energy?
Think of an object falling from a cliff: Potential energy = mass x gravity x height. So a larger object falling from a higher cliff will start out with more potential energy. As it falls, it speeds up, converting its potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity2. If it bounces, some of that KE is converted back into PE; otherwise it is lost as heat and sound (or in breaking things).
