What energy transformation occurs in dropping a yoyo?
gravitational energy to kinetic energy
What type of energy transformation occurs when you throw a ball in the air and catch it?
well im not 100% sure but id probably say kinetic energy.
When a ball rolls down a hill what energy occurs?
The situation is similar as when an object falls. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (including rotational energy in this case); part of that kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.
Which property will eventually be the same for two objects after heat is transferred between them?
A wrong Idea:Often the concepts of heat and temperature are thought to be the same, but they are not.Perhaps the reason the two are usually and incorrectly thought to be the same is because as human beings on Earth everyday experience leads us to notice that when you heat something up, say like putting a pot of water on the stove, then the temperature of that something goes up. More heat, more temperature - they must be the same, right? Turns out, though, this is not true.Initial Definitions:Temperature is a number that is related to the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance. If temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules.Heat is a measurement of the total energy in a substance. That total energy is made up of not only of the kinetic energies of the molecules of the substance, but total energy is also made up of the potential energies of the molecules.More abut temperature:So, temperature is not energy. It is, though, a number that relates to one type of energy possessed by the molecules of a substance. Temperature directly relates to the kinetic energy of the molecules. The molecules have another type of energy besides kinetic, however; they have potential energy, also. Temperature readings do not tell you anything directly about this potential energy.Temperature can be measured in a variety of units. If you measure it in degrees Kelvin, then the temperature value is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the substance. Notice we did not say that temperature is the kinetic energy. We said it is a number, if in degrees Kelvin, is proportional to the average kinetic energies of the molecules; that is, if you double the Kelvin temperature of a substance, you double the average kinetic energy of its molecules.More About Heat:Heat is energy.Heat is the total amount of energy possessed by the molecules in a piece of matter. This energy is both kinetic energy and potential energy.When heat, (i. e., energy), goes into a substance one of two things can happen:1. The substance can experience a raise in temperature. That is, the heat can be used to speed up the molecules of the substance. Since Kelvin temperature is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of molecules in a substance, an factor increase in temperature causes an equal factor increase in the average kinetic energy of the molecules. And if the kinetic energy of the molecules increase, the speed of the molecules will increase, although these increases are not directly proportional. The kinetic energy of a body is proportional to the square of the speed of the body. 2. The substance can change state. For example, if the substance is ice, it can melt into water. Perhaps surprisingly, this change does not cause a raise in temperature. The moment before melting the average kinetic energy of the ice molecules is the same as the average kinetic energy of the water molecules a moment after melting. Although heat is absorbed by this change of state, the absorbed energy is not used to speed up the molecules. The energy is used to change the bonding between the molecules. Changing the manner in which the molecules bond to one another constitutes a change in potential energy. Heat comes in and there is an increase in the potential energy of the molecules. Their kinetic energy remains unchanged.So, when heat comes into a substance, energy comes into a substance. That energy can be used to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, which would cause an increase in temperature. Or that heat could be used to increase the potential energy of the molecules causing a change in state that is not accompanied by an increase in temperature.my source (i give all credit to the website below for they are the ones who had this fancy answer): i hope that this was of some help to youhttp://id.mind.net/~zona/mstm/physics/mechanics/energy/heatAndTemperature/heatAndTemperature.html
What energy transformation is used on a pinwheel?
when we used it te pinwheel as to put it in dress or other then a transformation occurs.....
What would increase a temperature of a substance?
When a substance is heated the temperature is increased. This occurs because energy enters the substance which will increase the kinetic energy of the molecules,thus causing a rise in temperature.
An increase in the average kinetic energy of a sample of copper atoms occurs with an increase in what?
Temperature
How can the diffusion of molecules be accelerated?
If you increase the temperature you give the particles more kinetic energy and diffusion occurs faster.If you stir a substance you give the particles more kinetic energy and diffusion occurs faster.If you increase the concentration gradient there are more particle per unit area bouncing off of one another and diffusion occurs faster.
What type of energy occurs when you hit the brakes on a bike?
i think it is kinetic energy to thermal energy.
Why does ice melt faster in water not in soda?
The melting of ice occurs when it's molecules increase in kinetic energy, thus causing a change in it's state of matter. This process is not instantaneous, though it speeds up when thermal energy is added, as thermal energy and kinetic energy are very similar and both involve an increase of molecular speed. It all depends on how quickly the surrounding variables are willing to allow energy conveyance.
What occurs when molecules are heated in a solid or liquid?
In both cases, the molecules start vibrating faster. This is why temperature is also called "molecular kinetic energy" -- it is how fast molecules are vibrating and hitting each other.
How does Kinetic and Potential energy relate to Pendulums in different ways?
Maximum kinetic energy occurs at the bottom of the swing. Maximum potential energy occurs at the top of the swing.
As the temperature of a gas decrease what change occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?
The amount of kinetic energy increases.
As the temperature of a gas decreases what change occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?
The amount of kinetic energy increases.
As the temperature of a gas decreases what changes occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?
The amount of kinetic energy increases.
When the potential energy of gasoline is converted to the kinetic energy of a moving what has occured?
Energy transfer occurs when potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.
