Clearly the truck, as it is heavier
Potential energy is determined by the mass of an object and its distance from the ground. Therefore, the skydiver with greater mass will have greater potential energy when they are the same distance from the ground.
Potential energy is greater than kinetic energy when an object is at rest or at a high point. When potential energy is at its maximum, kinetic energy is at its minimum because the object is not in motion. As the object falls, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
The motorcycle has potential energy at the top of the hill due to its position relative to the ground. As it moves slowly, this potential energy is being converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. Some potential energy may also be lost as heat or sound due to friction.
The engine of a motorcycle changes chemical energy (from fuel combustion) into mechanical energy, which in turn powers the movement of the motorcycle.
True. Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to an object's height above a reference point. This means that the greater the height of an object, the greater its gravitational potential energy.
An object would have greater potential energy when positioned higher above the ground due to its increased gravitational potential energy.
The potential energy of the reactants is greater than the potential energy of the products.
Directly. The greater the potential fall, the greater the potential energy.
Kinetic Energy is defined as the energy associated with motion. This is in contrast to potential energy which is associated with an entity's energy at rest, and it's potential for motion. Kinetic Energy can be calculated using this formula: KE = 0.5*Mass*Velocity^2, where KE = Kinetic Energy It is apparent by the formula that the same car traveling at a higher speed will have a greater kinetic energy than it does when traveling at a lower speed. Therefore, when the car travels at 50 mi/hr it has a higher kinetic energy than when it travels at 35 mi/hr. Let me just note that if we were talking about two different cars then we'd have to consider the weights of the cars.
Kinetic energy depends both on the mass and on the speed.
The potential energy of the products is greater than the potential energy of the reactants.
Kinetic energy - the energy of a mass in motion CAN be greater than the potential energy of the mass.The kinetic energy of a comet hitting the Earth would be far greater than the potential energy of the comet once it entered Earth gravity field.
