When rolling downhill a rollar coasters potential energy is converted?
Yes. At the top of the hill, the potential energy is at a maximum. As the coaster is rolling down the hill, the potential energy (or energy due to the coaster's position or height), is converted into kinetic energy (as the roller coaster is rushing downhill). Hope this helps, physicsisland@hotmail.com
As an object moves downhill some of the energy is?
Before it rolls downhill, it has gravitational potential energy. As it rolls downhill, part of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (including rotational energy); due to friction, this will soon be converted into waste energy, mainly heat.
Is coasting downhill on a bike a chemical energy?
No, it's potential energy turning into kinetic energy.
How does the energy associated with a bicycle change as it speeds up going downhill?
The energy associated with a bicycle changes as it speeds up going downhill due to the fact that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the position. The kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
Potential energy is frequently converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy?
can be converted to potential energy.
What energy has by a truck increasing speed downhill?
Whenever anything falls down, rolls downward, etc., gravitational potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.
Gravity your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and it when you are driving downhill?
it is both kinetic and potential energy
What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?
If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.
Is potential energy was converted to kinetic energy?
It CAN be converted to kinetic energy, but it won't always do so.
What other things can energy do?
There are three types of energy: Mechanical, Kinetic, and Potential. Kinetic is defined as energy in motion (person running, ball rolling). Potential energy is energy that is to be used and about to happen (food, book about to fall off a table). Mechanical energy is both Kinetic and Potential energy (roller coasters are a great example). The law of conservation of energy states that 'Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but converted from kinds of energy'. Energy can be converted.
Hands moving on a battery operated clock is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
What happen to the potential energy of an object as it falls?
It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)
