That is the point when it has the highest speed.

∙ 12y agoTHE greatest P.E is when it is highest from the ground the highest K.E. is when it is lowest to the ground without touching the ground.

∙ 10y agoLike anything else, it has the greatest kinetic energy at the place where
it's traveling the fastest. For a rollercoaster, that's almost always at the
bottom of the first drop.

When does potential energy turn into kinetic energy?
when an object moves, it becomes kinetic energy. example-a rollercoaster
What three forces drive a rollercoaster?
friction, potential energy, and kinetic energy
What is potential energy changed to kinetic energy?
Potential energy is when something is about to release its energy. Think of at a rollercoaster when it reaches the top, right before it is about to fall. That is potential energy because it could fall which will release the energy. Kinetic energy is the energy that is being released at that moment. For instance, the rollercoaster falling, it is being pulled downwards which is the kinetic energy.
What object carries the greatest amount of kinetic energy?
KE = m•v2The object whose mass and velocity squared give the greatest value for KE has the greatest KE.
In energy transformations when a roller coaster is at the top of the hill the kinetic energy is?
Kinetic energy comes from movement. If the roller coaster is moving at the top of the hill, it has kinetic energy. if the rollercoaster isn't moving then it has potential energy.
When does a skydiver have the greatest kinetic energy?
A skydiver have the greatest kinetic energy as he/she wants to hit the water.
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.
What has the greatest amount of kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy = one-half the product of an object's massand the square of its speed.So, the object with the greatest product of (mass) x (speed)2 has the greatest kinetic energy.
When is kinetic energy greatest?
Normally when the speed is greatest.
Why is a roller coaster using mechanical energy?
uase it just does. The cars move. Motion of material things IS kinetic energy.
Is kinetic energy energy in moition?
yes because if you were running down a hill you are in motion and kinetic energy is in its greatest coming downhill.
The factor that has the greatest effect on kinetic energy is?
velocity!!
