Is kinetic energy at work when something is thrown?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion; a thrown object has kinetic energy.
When a ball is thrown into the air the potential energy gained must come from its kinetic energy as the ball gains potential energy speed will?
decrease until it becomes zero at the ball's highest point
When a ball is thrown into the air the potential energy gained must come from its kinetic energy. As the ball gains potential energy its speed will?
decrease until it becomes zero at the ball's highest point
What type of energy does a ball thrown in the air have at its lowest point?
At it's lowest point it has only kinetic energy because it has to have a height in order to have potential energy
What is the difference between an objects gravitational potential energy and its kinetic energy?
POTENTIAL ENERGY is energy when something has energy but is currently stored and not being used. Example: Batteries have electrical energy stored in them but is not used until put inside of a camera, controller, remote, and etc. KINETIC ENERGY is energy when something is being moved, thrown, rolled, or spun by force. Example: When a football is thrown from the Quarterback to the Receiver, the ball is thrown using KINETIC ENERGY.
How does potential and kinetic energy relate to football?
The football has (gravitational) potential energy because of its position above the ground. It also has kinetic energy because it is moving. The combined energy is called mechanical energy.
What is the difference between Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy?
POTENTIAL ENERGY is energy when something has energy but is currently stored and not being used. Example: Batteries have electrical energy stored in them but is not used until put inside of a camera, controller, remote, and etc. KINETIC ENERGY is energy when something is being moved, thrown, rolled, or spun by force. Example: When a football is thrown from the Quarterback to the Receiver, the ball is thrown using KINETIC ENERGY.
What forms of energy are present when a softball is thrown into the air and hit?
Kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy
Describe the conversions between potential and kinetic energy that occur when you shoot a basketball in a basket?
When the ball is positioned in your hands it has full potential energy. As you move and the ball is thrown at the basket, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, by the transfer of kinetic energy from your arms, to your hands, to the ball. When the ball hits the basket some of its kinetic energy was converted into potential energy and then back into kinetic energy as it hit the ground.
Describe the rise and fall of a thrown basketball by using the concepts of kinetic energy and potential energy?
you use kinetic to use your posture and potential to make the shoot to the basket. These is a silly answer.
Is kinetic energy at work when something is thrown?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion; a thrown object has kinetic energy.
What energy occurs first potential or kinetic?
Energy is possessed by virtue of position, shape or motion or all the three properties. Generally potential energy is at first stored in a body which is released as kinetic energy when the body is in motion. But suppose if a body is thrown upwards vertically its kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy.
What happen to kinetic energy of the rock as it gets higher and higher?
Unless the speed of the rock changes, the kinetic energy does not change. If you are talking about a rock that is being thrown, of course the kinetic energy decreases as kinetic energy is converted into potential by the conservative gravitational force.
When a ball is thrown into the air the potential energy gained must come from its kinetic energy as the ball gains potential energy speed will?
decrease until it becomes zero at the ball's highest point
