That's only true when the body is dropped from some height. In that case,
its speed keeps increasing until it hits the ground, so that's when it's speed
is the greatest, and more speed means more kinetic energy.
If you fire a bullet, a Golf ball, or a canonball horizontally, then its kinetic energy
can easily be greater when it leaves the muzzle or the club-face than it is when
the projectile hits the ground.
What else can I help you with?
When the body falls freely towards the earth then its total energy?
When the body falls freely towards the Earth, its total energy is constant. The body's kinetic energy increases as it gains speed, while its potential energy decreases as it moves closer to the Earth's surface. The sum of the body's kinetic and potential energy remains the same throughout the fall.
what factors of the kinetic energy of a body depend on?
The kinetic energy of a body depends on its mass and its velocity. As the mass of the body increases, its kinetic energy also increases. Similarly, as the velocity of the body increases, its kinetic energy increases as well.
Is it possible to combine an objects gravitational energy and kinetic energy?
If the body is approaching towards the center of earth,then the K.E and Gravitational (G) energy imposed on body due to earth are parallel and in the same direction,hence they can be combined. If the body is moving on earth's surface,then its K.E is perpendicular to the (G), and if body is moving away from earth its experiences -ve gravity !!
What is the kinetic energy is the energy of?
Kinetic energy is the energy a body has because of its motion.
When is a body said to possess kinetic energy?
A body is said to possess kinetic energy when it is in motion. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion and is dependent on both its mass and velocity.
What is the difference between thermal energy and kinetic energy?
Thermal energy is the energy possessed in a body due to its temperature.Hotter the substance more the thermal energy will be and vice versa. However ,kinetic energy is the energy of a body possessed in it due to its motion.Higher the velocity of body more will be the kinetic energy.
What is kinetic energy'?
Energy gained by a body due to its motion is called Kinetic energy
Does gravity cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?
No. Friction with the air does with an object in free fall in the earth's atmosphere. Gravity causes a falling body to accelerate so it changes potential energy into kinetic energy.
When does zero kinetic energy occur?
kinetic energy is zero when the body is at rest.
How does the body gain kinetic energy?
By converting other forms of energy into kinetic.
What type of energy is the energy a body possesses because it is in motion?
The energy possessed by a body in motion is kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the movement of an object.
State any one factor which determines the kinetic energy of a body?
One factor affecting the kinetic energy of a particle (or body) in is the viscosity of the medium through which that particle moves
