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.


Where is the potential energy of the box the greatest on the incline?

the box when it is inclined will have greatest potential energy on the top corners only.


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! :)


What happens to a basketball's kinetic energy as it rises toward the basket?

The basketball's kinetic energy begins to turn into potential energy as it reaches the basket.


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.


What kind of energy do you burn when playing basketball?

It isn't clear what you mean with "he", but an object's gravitational potential energy is greatest at its highest position.


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.


When a ball is hit by a player at what point in its motion is the potential energy of the ball at a maximum?
