What does kinetic energy do?
Kinetic energy tells you how much energy an object has due to motion. The faster an object is moving, the more kinetic energy it has. Moving objects also have more kinetic energy if they have more mass, because it takes more work to get them moving. The formula for kinetic energy is (1/2)mv2 where m is mass and v is velocity.
Why do particles have different amounts of kinetic energy?
Because they have different temperatures and when you measure an object's temperature, you measure the average kinetic energy of all the particles in the object.
What is the average kinetic energy of particles in an object can be measured by its?
By its Thermal Energy.
How is kinetic energy formed?
Kinetic energy is a form of energy that comes from motion. Therefore any moving object (that has a mass!) has kinetic energy. For kinetic energy to be produced, a force must act upon an object to give it an acceleration, to put it in motion. The simplest case is the conversion of potentiel energy to kinetic energy. When an object is far from its "normal" standing position (in this case the ground), it is said to have potential energy. When this object is attracted by the force of gravity, its potential energy is slowly converting into kinetic energy because the objet keeps on accelerating.
Explain how the motion of a swing illustrates the transformation between potential and kinetic energy?
1) at the top of the swing, the swinging object has all potential energy and no kinetic energy (no speed at that moment) while at the bottom there is no potential energy but a maximum in kinetic energy, so that the swinging object is fastest at the bottom.
What happens to matter when it gains kinetic energy?
When an object gains kinetic energy, it moves faster.
What happens to an object when it's kinetic energy increases?
It gets faster
What happens to an object as its kinetic energy increases.?
its particles move faster
What happens to an object it as its kinetic energy increases?
its particles move faster
What happens to an object as its kinetic energy increases?
its particles move faster
What happens to an object as as it's kinetic energy increases?
its particles move faster
What happens to an object as it's kinetic energy increases?
its particles move faster
What happens to it object as it's Kinetic Energy increases?
its particles move faster
What happens to an object kinetic energy if the object speed increases?
The kinetic energy will increase. Kinetic energy is defined by K=one half mv2 where m is the mass of the object, and v is the velocity of the object. The greater the velocity, the greater the kinetic energy. Since the velocity is squared, increasing it will cause the kinetic energy to grow much faster than if you increased the mass.
If an object that moves faster does it have greater potential energy?
no. if an object moves faster its kinetic energy increases but at the same time its potential energy decreases.
What happens when a kinetic energy transferred from object to object?
it absorbs it and passes it on.
When a piece of clay falls from the table to the florr what happens to the potential energy it had while it was on the table?
While an object is falling, most of the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy, i.e., it gets faster and faster. When it crashes on the ground, this kinetic energy is converted to other types of energy, usually heat.
