Kinetic energy
As a ball fall downwards, it's velocity continuously increases, therefore the kinetic energy increases. As the height from the ground level decreases, the potential energy decreases. Further, the total mechanical energy remains constant throughout the motion.
The answer depends on the situation. For example, the sum of the kinetic and gravitational potential energy of an aircraft which is taking off will increase.
When negative work is done on the object, the object's energy decreases. This MAY be kinetic energy, but some other form of energy may increase instead, for example, potential energy or heat energy.
it has both potential and kinetic energies as when it is going upwards, the potential energy increases while the kinetic energy decreases until it reaches the top, and then the kinetic energy is zero and the potential energy is maximum.
Kinetic energy
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
As a ball fall downwards, it's velocity continuously increases, therefore the kinetic energy increases. As the height from the ground level decreases, the potential energy decreases. Further, the total mechanical energy remains constant throughout the motion.
The answer depends on the situation. For example, the sum of the kinetic and gravitational potential energy of an aircraft which is taking off will increase.
For example, when an object falls, its potential energy decreases, but its kinetic energy increases, i.e., it falls faster and faster.
When potiental increases, kinetic decreases and vice versa.
Kinetic energy increases and gravitational potential energy decreases.
Potential energy is mgh Kinetic energy is .5mv^2 1 ex is a huge rock The rock has potential energy but when it falls the PE turns to Kinetic energy As one decreases the other increases
Increasing the speed will increase the KINETIC energy, not the potential energy. Of course, the potential energy may eventually be converted into kinetic energy, for example if the object moves upwards.
It's potential energy decreases.
When negative work is done on the object, the object's energy decreases. This MAY be kinetic energy, but some other form of energy may increase instead, for example, potential energy or heat energy.
Kinetic energy increases; potential energy decreases, because the object is now in motion
