Where will you locate on a pendulum or roller coaster the greatest potential and greatest kinetic energy?

On a pendulum, the greatest potential energy is at the highest point of the swing on either side, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the swing. On a roller coaster, the greatest potential energy is at the top of a hill, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the hill.


What has the greatest amount of kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy = one-half the product of an object's massand the square of its speed.So, the object with the greatest product of (mass) x (speed)2 has the greatest kinetic energy.


When is kinetic energy greatest?

Normally when the speed is greatest.


As a skydiver fallsthe air is forced around him.what energy transformation doe's this cause?

Gravitational potential energy of the sky diver to kinetic energy of the air which moves around him.


Is kinetic energy energy in moition?

yes because if you were running down a hill you are in motion and kinetic energy is in its greatest coming downhill.


The factor that has the greatest effect on kinetic energy is?

velocity!!


When is kentic energy the greatest?

Kinetic energy depends on an object's mass, as well as on its speed. Since an object's mass usually doesn't change much, the kinetic energy will be greatest when the object moves fastest.


Type of energy that is greatest at the bottom of a swings's path?

Kinetic Energy, the potential energy is greatest at the top of the swing's path! :)


Which phase of matter do particles have the most energy and the least energy?

Particles of matter have their least kinetic energy in the solid phase and their greatest kinetic energy in the gas phase.


What two points do Kinetic energy increase the most?

Kinetic energy depends on mass and speed. For a given object (whose mass will normally not change much), it will be greatest when the speed is greatest.


When is the potential energy of a pendulum at its greatest?

The highest point of the pendulums swing is when the potential energy is at its highest and the kinetic energy is at its lowest. Kinetic energy is at its highest when at the lowest point of its swing, or equilibrium position, this is when the potential energy is at zero.


What kind of energy does a skydiver falling use?

Any time anything falls within Earth's atmosphere, there are the following energy transformations:Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. That is, the object falls down, decreasing its potential energy; at the same time, the pull of gravity tends to make it move faster.At the same time, atmospheric resistance will dissipate this movement - converting kinetic energy, mainly into heat.
