Potential, changing to kinetic when you release it and it falls.
What else can I help you with?
When you hold a ball above the ground does it have kinetic energy?
No, when the ball is held in a stationary position above the ground, it only has potential energy due to its position relative to the ground. Kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object.
What of the following has both kinetic and potential energy A. A hot air balloon flying B. A book sitting on a shelf C. A bug crawling on the ground D. A ball rolling on the ground?
A ball rolling on the ground has both kinetic and potential energy. The ball has kinetic energy due to its motion, and potential energy due to its height above the ground which can be converted to kinetic energy as it rolls down a slope.
Do a soccer ball have energy?
Yes, a soccer ball has energy when it is either moving (kinetic energy) or when it is elevated above the ground (potential energy). When kicked, the stored energy in a player's leg is transferred to the ball, giving it kinetic energy as it moves.
How kinetic energy does a 4.0 kg ball sitting 2.0 meters off the ground have?
The ball has potential energy due to its position above the ground. To calculate its kinetic energy, we need more information such as its velocity or the forces acting on it.
Dropping an iron ball is kinetic energy?
Anything in motion has kinetic energy. KE=1/2 m v^2 The ball starts with potential energy due to its height above the ground. The energy is converted to kinetic energy as the object accelerates.
What type of energy is involved when a ball is dropped?
When a ball is dropped, the energy involved is primarily gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy as the ball accelerates towards the ground. When the ball hits the ground, some of this kinetic energy is transferred to the ground as impact energy.
What can you say about the energy of a ball at the point of release compared with at the top of its bounce?
At the point of release, the ball has potential energy due to its position above the ground and minimal kinetic energy. At the top of its bounce, the ball has maximum kinetic energy and minimal potential energy. This energy transformation between potential and kinetic energy occurs due to the forces acting on the ball during its trajectory.
Is a ball rolling down hill potential energy?
Yes, when a ball is rolling down a hill, it has both kinetic energy (energy of motion) and gravitational potential energy (energy due to its position above the ground). As it rolls, the potential energy is gradually converted into kinetic energy.
What kind of energy does the ball have just before it is released?
The ball has potential energy just before it is released, which is due to its height above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the ball falls and gains speed.
What energy changes happen as a ball hits the ground?
When a ball hits the ground, the potential energy it had due to its height is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon impact, some of this kinetic energy is transferred into sound and heat energy through the compression of the ball and ground.
What form or forms of energy does the ball have while in motion near the bottom of its path?
At the bottom of its path, the ball has kinetic energy due to its motion, gravitational potential energy due to its height above the ground, and some of its initial potential energy may have been converted to kinetic energy as it fell.
What type of energy is a curve ball is it kinetic?
Basically, if it moves, it has kinetic energy. And if it is above ground level, it has gravitational potential energy.
