kinetic Energy. Energy is transferred from one object to another when a reaction takes place. Energy comes in many forms and can be transferred from one object to another as heat, light, or motion, to name a few. For the blue ball to move to the position of the green ball, energy must be given to the blue ball.

∙ 15y agoThe most prominent is the conversion of potential energy of some kind of spring(particular realisation of spring may vary in different catapult designs) to kinetic energy of projectile that occurs on the launch.

∙ 11y agoThe rope-type catapult stores energy as tension (potential energy) which deforms the ropes. When the release is pulled, the ropes unwind and pull the catapult basket in a semicircular arc. This allows the payload (projectile) to leave the basket and continue in the direction in which it was moving.

∙ 11y agoa catapult is made of an elastic substance which stores an substantial amount of mechanical energy i.e. (potential & kinetic )energy .the transfer of kinetic energy in a catapult two phases ; when a "pull or push force"acts on the elastic material thereby changing from its state of rest Q0 (potential energy) to a state of elastic motion (kinetic energy). At the point where the pulling force stops to act marks the end of the 1st phase and the energy is being converted to potential energy since the force causing it to move has stopped and has assumed a temporary state of rest say Q1 the 2nd phase is when the force causing the catapult to assume a temporary state of rest is realeased in bid to to return to its state of its original form Q0 . the transfer of K.E in the 2nd phase is more evident and of more importance , the K.E of the 1st phase can be said to be induced whle the later can be said to be natural.

How is potential energy transferred into kinetic energy?
When the object is moved, even a tiny bit.
What is the energy transferred by a force to a moving object.?
It could be an increase or decrease in its kinetic energy, or simply a change in the direction of motion.
What are three ways energy can be transferred?
Three examples:1) Anything falling under gravity. Gravitational potential energy is being transferred into kinetic energy, i.e. speed.2) In a turbine. Moving the rotors round on a turbine turns kinetic into electric energy.3) Electric cooking hobs. The electrical energy is dissipated to release thermal energy (heats up).
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.
Can kinetic energy be transferred to another object?
Yes, kinetic energy can be transferred to another object. When we consider billards, we see this idea in action. The kinetic energy of a ball can be transferred to another ball.
What happens when a kinetic energy transferred from object to object?
it absorbs it and passes it on.
How is kinetic energy transferred into potential energy?
When the object is moved, even a tiny bit.
How is potential energy transferred into kinetic energy?
When the object is moved, even a tiny bit.
What is the definition of kinetic and potential energy?
Kinetic energy is that energy possessed by a moving object, inherent in the fact it is moving. Potential energy is that energy in any object which remains static within the object, and is not being transformed or transferred at that time.
When is kinetic energy transfered from object to object?
kinetic Energy. Energy is transferred from one object to another when a reaction takes place. Energy comes in many forms and can be transferred from one object to another as heat, light, or motion, to name a few. For the blue ball to move to the position of the green ball, energy must be given to the blue ball.
When you lift an object energy is transferred to an object which gives the object?
When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.
When objects kinetic energy can be transferred.?
When objects collide or touch, kinetic (mechanical) energy can be transferred.
What is the energy transferred by a force to a moving object.?
It could be an increase or decrease in its kinetic energy, or simply a change in the direction of motion.
When objects blank kinetic energy can be transferred?
When objects collide or touch, kinetic (mechanical) energy can be transferred.
What does it mean if an object has kinetic energy?
an object has no kinetic energy if it is not moving
What does it mean if an object has no kinetic energy?
an object has no kinetic energy if it is not moving
