Why the sun gives heat?
Because the earth is a big ball of energy!!!!
If the earth was the size of the ball in a ball point pen what would be about the size as the sun?
a basketball (or pretty close)
What effect does earth's own gravitational pull have on a tossed ball?
The earths gravitational pull would effect the ball so that once it reaches a certaion height it wouold fall back to earth. It prevents the ball leaving earths atmosphere.
What kind of motion would you expect if you threw a ball on the moon?
every thing on earth
Does a ball falling to earth violate conservation of momentum?
No. As a ball accelerates toward the Earth, the Earth is also accelerating to the ball. The Earth's acceleration is much too small to be detectable. But multiplied by the Earth's large mass, it is equal and opposite to the increase in the ball's momentum.
Consider al bouncing ball were would the ball have least gravitationl energy?
gravitational energy is the same as potential and kinetic energy. When the ball is further from the surface of the earth it will have the most potential energy and when the ball gets closer to the surface of the earth that potential energy turns into kinetic energy because it is being used to move the ball towards the surface.
What would be a situation where an object has a very high kinetic and potential energy?
A cannon ball being shot upward into the air. The kinetic energy is the ball moving at high speeds, while the high potential energy is the height of the ball, as it will use this potential energy to fall back down to earth.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field. The higher an object is the greater its gravitational potential. When it falls the gravitational potential becomes kinetic energy. Energy stored in height differences ~APEX
Is a falling ball potential or kinetic energy?
it is kinetic because it involves releasing the energy.
Does a ball in your hand possess energy?
A ball in your hand has gravitational potential energy. If you were to move the ball at all you would be transfering that energy into Kinetic energy.
Which sports ball had the most potential energy?
If you were talking about gravitational potential energy, assuming each ball was at the same height, the one with the most potential energy would be whichever is heaviest. If each ball weighs the same, whichever one is highest up has more potential energy.
How do you measure a dropped ball's potential energy?
When a ball is dropped, it no longer has potential energy. Before it drops, you can calculate the potential energy (= mgh); to actually measure this, you would have to measure the force, and multiply that by the distance.
A girl throws a ball 15 m into the air the ball has the maximum potential energy at a height of?
The ball has the highest potential energy at its maximum height (15m in the air). At the beginning, the ball has only kinetic energy and no potential energy. But as the ball travels upward, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. When the ball changes direction, there is no kinetic energy, as all of it is now potential energy. As the ball returns back down, potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy.
What potential energy does a squashed ball have?
When a ball is squashed, it gains potential energy due to the compression of its material. This potential energy is stored in the form of elastic potential energy, as the ball has the potential to return to its original shape when released.
Is earth running out of energy?
Energy doesnt run out, it is just transferred. For example, a ball in a high place is said to have potential kinetic energy, if it then falls that energy is transferred to kinetic and thermal energy. Upon rest, the ball again has potential kinetic energy.
Where is the maximum and minimum kinetic and potential energy found as a ball drops?
A ball at rest contains only potential energy. A ball in motion contains almost all kinetic energy. But it gets tricky here. A free falling ball that has not yet reached terminal velocity has no potential energy. That energy is being given up to kinetic energy. Once the ball reaches terminal velocity in Earth's atmosphere, air resistance holds back further conversion of potential energy to kinetic.
How were you able to increase the amount of potential energy the ball had?
As we increase the altitude of the ball the potential energy increases.
