Is a falling rock a kinetic reaction?

There is no such thing as a kinetic reaction. Any moving body has kinetic energy. When a rock falls, its gravitational potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.


Total amount of potential and kinetic energy?

Total Energy = Potential + Kinetic TE=PE+KE


When does a coaster have a large amount of Kinetic Energy and when does it have a large amount of Potential Energy?

The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.


Is it possible to have more kinetic energy than potential energy?

No, because potential energy is the amount of energy that COULD be used, while kinetic energy is the amount of energy that IS being used.


Amount of kinetic and potential energy of an object?

Mechanical Energy :)


What two things do potential and kinetic energy need to gain more energy?

Well, basically, the higher an object is above the ground, the more potential energy it has. For kinetic energy, the amount of energy depends on the amount of force.


What are the two types of mechanical energy?

Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy


What is amount of energy an object has in it?

It is the sum of the potential and kinetic energies


What are two forms of energy that can be released by a chemical reaction?

Kinetic energy and potential energy.


Can the Newton's Cradle possess potential energy?

Sure, when the ball is in the highest position, it has a maximum amount of potential energy. When it is just about to hit the other balls, the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. When the other ball goes up again, the kinetic energy turns, once more, into potential energy.Sure, when the ball is in the highest position, it has a maximum amount of potential energy.

What are the two main forms of energy?

The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.


How much kinetic energy does a book have just it hits the floor?

Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.
