What is the difference between sleet rain and freezing rain?

Freezing rain occurs when the layer of freezing air is so thin that the raindrops do not have enough time to freeze before reaching the ground. ... Sleet is simply frozen raindrops and occurs when the layer of freezing air along the surface is thicker. This causes the raindrops to freeze before reaching the ground.


What can be said about the potential and kinetic energy of the stone as it falls?

we know that according to law of conservation of energy "Energy can neither be created nor destroy, but it can only change from one form to another " just like this before the stone was being thrown , it possessed P.E (potential energy) when when it was thrown it's P.E was converted into K.E (kinetic energy) and when it striked the ground it's K.E was converted again into P.E.

What kind of energy gives off when a kid falls out of a tree?

Any object that is above ground level has potential energy. If the object falls down, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, i.e., the object will move at a certain speed.


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.


When an electron falls back to its ground state how much energy is released?

It releases the same amount of energy that it absorbed when it was excited to a higher energy state.


When you hold a ball above ground does it have kinetic energy?

Potential, changing to kinetic when you release it and it falls.


When an object falls which energy changes to?

As the object falls, it PEG or potential gravitational energy becomes kinetic energy. Before falling, it has for example 10 joules of PEG and 0 joules of Kinetic energy. As it falls, the PEG decreases and the kinetic energy increases, until it hits the ground, when all the energy is dispersed as sound, heat, etc.
