What type of energy is when the motion of a skateboard?

A moving skateboard has kinetic energy. If it is moving down an incline, it also has potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy as it gains speed. If its moving up an incline, kinetic energy is converted to potential energy as it loses speed.


Which type of energy becomes greater as the kinetic energy becomes greater?

The kinetic type does.


When does a skier the greatest kinetic energy?

before they go down the incline.


After rolling halfway down an incline a marble's kinetic energy is?

The same as it's potential energy


If two roller coasters have the same mass the one with the greater what will have a greater Kinetic energy?

The one with the greater velocity will have the greater kinetic energy.


Why does the distance of a toy car increase when the height of the ramp is increased?

The car experiences greater acceleration from a steeper incline (i.e. you added energy to the system by raising the ramp). The car can then go further due to the increased force (F=ma).


What happens to the kinetic energy when an object moves faster?

it gets greater because the greater the mass the greater kinetic energy


How does increasing mass affect kinetic energy?

It increases the kinetic energy, because it is inversely related.


Does a car have greater kinetic energy than a motorcycle?

Kinetic energy depends both on the mass and on the speed.


Why can't kinetic energy be greater than potential energy?

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.


If the speed of an object doubles the kinetic energy of the object?

At twice the speed, the kinetic energy will be four times greater.


What happens to an object kinetic energy if the object speed increases?

The kinetic energy will increase. Kinetic energy is defined by K=one half mv2 where m is the mass of the object, and v is the velocity of the object. The greater the velocity, the greater the kinetic energy. Since the velocity is squared, increasing it will cause the kinetic energy to grow much faster than if you increased the mass.
