What type of energy does a ball thrown in the air have at its lowest point?
At it's lowest point it has only kinetic energy because it has to have a height in order to have potential energy
What are the advantages of potential energy?
Potential energy can be used to store energy - as in the chemical energy stored in a battery or in the food we eat, the energy stored in a spring, or water that is below the lowest possible level.
If the potential energy of a swing is 200 J at its highest point and 50 J at its lowest point what is the kinetic energy of the swing at its lowest point if mechanical energy is conserved?
150J, as the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy as the swing accelerates downwards (and forwards) from the top of its swing. Therefore the decrease in potential energy corresponds directly to the increase in kinetic energy if we are ignoring things like friction. So KE = 200-50= 150
When does a falling object have the greatest energy?
A falling object has the greatest potential energy when it is highest, at the beginning of the fall. It has the greatest kinetic energy when it is at its lowest, at the end of the fall. Without taking friction or air resistance into account, the beginning potential energy is the same as the final kinetic energy. If friction is considered, the beginning potential energy is greater.
Where the kinetic energy and potential energy becomes equal in simple pendulum?
A pendulum oscillates between two stationary points at the ends of its swing, with maximum speed at the center of the swing. So the kinetic energy is highest at the swing center where it is travelling fastest, and drops to zero at the stationary end points. The potential energy does the opposite, being a maximum at the ends and minimum in the center.
What happens to its potential energy as it passes to the lowest point?
potential energy changes to kinetic energy
What type of energy is potentail energy?
Potential energy is the state of matter in which it is not at rest, or at its lowest state. A charged battery has potential energy, as does the water behind an hydro dam.

At it's lowest point it has only kinetic energy because it has to have a height in order to have potential energy
If you have a 2kg pendulum bob that is 6 meters above the ground at its high point and 1 meter at its low point how can you figure the kinetic energy?
Calculate the potential energy at its highest point. Don't use the 6 meters above the ground - use the 5 meter difference from the lowest point. This part of the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy, when the pendulum is at its lowest point. Just assume that all the potential energy (for the 5 meters difference) get converted into kinetic energy.Calculate the potential energy at its highest point.

What happen to simple pendulum at lowest point of its swing?
At the low point of a swinging pendulum, the type of energy being demonstrated is maximum kinetic energy. It has zero potential energy at this point of the swing.
Where does the bob have the highest potential energy?
-- If you're talking about a pendulum, then the potential energy is highest and kinetic energy is zero at the ends of the swing, and potential energy is lowest and kinetic energy is highest in the middle of the swing. -- If you're not talking about a pendulum, then the preceding may be completely wrong.
Where does a roller coaster have the least kinetic energy?
At the tallest point on the track. Potential energy is given by U(Which is potential energy) = mass times height time gravitational constant. You can't change the gravitational constant, or the mass of the roller coaster car. So you have to change the height. PE=mgh so more the height and the mass the more PE
When you throw a ball in the air when does it have the least amount of gravitational potential energy?
Whenever it is at its lowest position.

If a ball is thrown up into the air at what point does it have the least potential energy?
When it is lowest - that's when you just threw it, or when it falls back to the ground.
Does an electron in the first energy shell have greater potential energy than an electron in the third energy shell?
electrons in the first electron shell have the lowest possible potential energy because YOUR MOM DROPPED U ON YOUR HEAD WHEN U WERE A BABY
