When moving down a ramp, a car gains potential energy due to its elevated position and kinetic energy as it increases in speed. The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the car accelerates down the ramp.

When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?
In a collision between faster and slower moving particles, typically the slower moving particles will gain energy and speed up while the faster moving particles will lose energy and slow down. This is due to the principle of conservation of energy and momentum.
What type of energy do snowflakes have as they fall?
Snowflakes have mainly potential energy as they fall due to gravity pulling them towards the ground. This energy is converted into kinetic energy as they gain speed.
What are two main types of potential energy?
The two main types of potential energy are gravitational potential energy, which is energy stored in an object based on its height above the ground, and elastic potential energy, which is energy stored in objects that are stretched or compressed, such as a spring.
What energy does a skier has at the top of a hill and coming down a hill?
At the top of a hill, a skier has mostly potential energy due to their elevated position. As they ski down the hill, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as they gain speed.
If you heat thermal energy will the particles move faster?
Yes, when thermal energy is added to a substance, the particles within that substance will gain kinetic energy and move faster. This results in an increase in temperature.
Does an electron lose or gain energy while moving up and down an energy level?
depends. Moving from an inner level to an outer level, the e- absorbs energy. Moving from an outer level to an inner level, the e- loses energy.
When faster moving and slower moving particles collide which particles gain energy?
In a collision between faster and slower moving particles, typically the slower moving particles will gain energy and speed up while the faster moving particles will lose energy and slow down. This is due to the principle of conservation of energy and momentum.
Skiers are pulled up hill by a moving ski slope when they reach the top of the hill they ski down what type of energy do the skier gain as they go up hill?
Once the skiers go uphill by a cable car or lift, they gain potential energy. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy once the skiers start to ski down the slope.
Why does it make more energy to stop a moving ball than the energy required to keep it moving?
The natural tendency of a moving object is to keep moving. And it doesn't really require energy to stop it; in fact, in theory, you can gain energy from it. What is required is a force.
What kind of energy does water gain it travels down a waterfall?
Kinetic Energy.
When do liquids gain kinetic energy?
kinetic energy is energy in the form of motion... in other words a liquid must be moving to have any kinetic energy
Can you gain weight by not moving?
You can actually gain weight while sitting but if you walked before you said down you probably cant gain wieght
Where do hurricanes gain and lose energy?
I think it gains by moving to a diffrent place . also they lose energy when it has no more energy like in the oean.
Is it true electrons gain energy as they move down the chain?
No. Electrons gain energy as they move up the chain, i.e. in more outer shells.
Can mechanical energy gain be explained as energy generated by an organism if it is the thing moving For example the mechanical energy gain of a bird after taking off from a perch after some time.?
Yes, the energy must be generated by the organism in this case. Organisms typically convert chemical energy (from the food they eat) to mechanical energy.
How do people gain and or lose weight?
People gain weight if the food they eat contains more energy than what they use by moving around and staying alive. People lose weight of the food they eat contain less energy than what they use up by moving around and staying alive.
How carnivore get their energy?
Carnivores gain energy by eating meat which contains protein. The protein is broken down inside the body and releases energy.
