It loses it's kinetic energy, the energy of motion. If it were logded against a rock on a hill, it has potential energy stored because of it's position on the hill.

Does a rolling ball eventually lose it energy?
No. It has potential energy once it stops. and when it moves, it has kinetic energy. it always has energy

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.
When a pendulum stops swaying and its at rest has it loss energy?
Yes. Pendulum lose energy due to friction with the air.
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.
What newtons law explains why a ball bounces?
when a ball is dropped it hits the floor and the ball is flattened. That creates energy. The only way the ball can release the energy is bouncing back up. But the ball starts to lose its height and the ball eventually loses its energy and comes to a stop.
What causes the particles of a substance to lose thermal energy?
The particles in a substance lose thermal energy as the temperature decreases, because the particles are moving and vibrating less.
What happens to a sample of matter when its particles lose kinetic energy?
A loss of kinetic energy in the atoms or molecules of a sample of matter will result in the cooling of the sample. That sample will get colder as remove thermal energy from it. The atoms/molecules of a substance have kinetic energy associated with them. This kinetic energy is the result of atomic and/or molecular motion. As a sample of matter cools, the atoms and/or molecules will lose mobility. Loss of mobility and vibrational energy, which are forms of kinetic energy, will become apparent when thermal energy is removed from the sample.
When does a bouncy ball has least potential energy?
Right before it hits the ground and right after it bounces back up.Potential energy is "stored energy;" the the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system. If an object is moving very fact, it has kinetic energy, but if an object is in a position where it has the potential to move fast but isn't moving or moving very slowly, the object has a lot of potential energy. A bouncy ball has a parabolic pattern (Like an upside-down U) of movement as it bounces. At the top of the parabola- when the bouncy ball is highest in the air- it has the highest potential energy because it is not moving for that instant, but has the capacity to do so. as it moves downwards, it loses potential energy and gains kinetic energy. By the time it is about to hit the ground, it has the greatest kinetic energy because it gains momentum, and the least potential energy. As the ball bounces back up, it loses momentum, so it is losing kinetic energy and gaining potential energy. A bouncy ball has the least potential energy right before it hits the ground and right after it begins bouncing back up.There is also an exchange of kinetic and potential energy as the ball hits the ground. Elastic energy is the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape. So, the kinetic gravitational energy (because gravity is doing the work) changes to elastic potential energy (it is not moving in any way for an instant, but has the potential to move in the sense of being squished down), and as the energy is being used to distort the shape of the ball, elastic kinetic energy. As the ball has been distorted to its maximum extent, it has more potential energy, which is transferred to kinetic as the ball first changes back to its original shape, elastic kinetic energy, and then bounces back up, when it begins to lose its kinetic energy again.
What energy transfer occurs when you kick a ball?
yes ====================== While your leg is swinging but before it hits the ball, your leg has kinetic energy. When your toe contacts the ball, it transfers kinetic energy to the ball, after which the ball also has some kinetic energy. (Your leg does not lose all of its kinetic energy, because it's still moving even after the ball takes off.)
If marble rolls across the table does it posses potential or kinetic energy?
The equation is K.E. = ½ * mass * velocity2 Kinetic energy is a measure of an object's energy due to the fact that has mass and is moving. So as long as the ball has mass and is moving, it has kinetic energy. Since all tables have friction the marble will slow down as to rolls and lose some KE. Potential Energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height. However since the ball is on a table (height), it also has potential energy. If one end of the table is a little higher than the other, it will gain potential energy as it rolls up the little hill, of course as it rolls up that little hill, it will lose the same amount of kinetic energy as the potential energy it gained. This is called "Conservation of Energy".
Does condensation lose or gain energy?
Condensation gives off energy. Matter is moving from the higher energy vapor state to a lower energy liquid state. This is an exothermic process.
