What sort of energy does a book have if it falls off a high shelf?
Before it falls it has gravitational potential energy. While it falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Part of this gets dissipated by friction - mainly converted to heat. Once it hits the ground, all the energy will be converted to heat.
If gravity is the only force present what is the total mechanical energy of a book falling off a shelf at a time when its potential energy is 50 J and its kinetic energy is 60 J?
110
When a book sits on a shelf what force if any does the shelf exert on the book?
The shelf must exert an upward force on the book that is exactly equal to the book's weight. If the forces on the bottom of the book were not balanced (did not add up to zero), then the bottom of the book would be accelerating.
Does a book sitting on a self have potential energy?
its physics term for the fact that it is not in motion (kinetic energy) but it is above the ground, so at any moment it could "potentially" have kinetic energy by falling to the floor.
How much kinetic energy does a book have just it hits the floor?
Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.
Book is to shelf as plate is to?
Kinetic Energy
The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf
Is t true the kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
no
Is a book falling from a book shelf kinetic or potential?
When a book is falling from a bookshelf, it is in a state of kinetic energy because it is in motion. Potential energy arises when the book is stationary on the shelf due to its height above the ground.
True or false the kinetic energy of a book shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
false

What is the relationship between kinetic energy and the temperature?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object. Temperatures also measure how kinetic energy is not how hot or cold it is. It's measuring what the amount of kinetic energy there when you throw something in the air and it comes back down.exampleThere is a ball on the top of a book shelf, and there is one on the bottom. Which one has more kinetic energy? The one on the top, because it has more time to fall and it has more kinetic energy.
Is nuclear energy is kinetic energy?
nuclear energy is kinetic my son showed me his text book and it says kinetic
Is nuclear energy kinetic energy or potential?
nuclear energy is kinetic my son showed me his text book and it says kinetic
Does a book falling from a shelf have gravitational energy?
Yes; while on the shelf it has potential energy due to gravity of mgh where m = mass and g =gravity acceleration and h is height fom floor. As it falls its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy mv squared/2 where v = velocity
What happen to the kinetic energy of a falling book when the book hits the floor?
when book is dropped from the height its kinetic goes on increasing and the sudden stop to the book when it touches the ground all the kinetic energy of the book is converted into potential energy of the book which helps the book to be stable after the impact, in short when the book hits the ground kinetic energy is converted to potential energy due to law conservation of energy.
