What else can I help you with?
Is kinetic energy the same as static energy?
No, Potential Energy is the energy of an object that has the potential to move while kinetic energy is the energy of an object at motion. Potential energy is defined by Mass * Gravity(9.81ms-2) * height(In meters) Kinetic energy is defined by (1/2)*Mass*Velocity2
Can objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
How does the mass of an object affect its kinetic energy?
Mass is directly proportional to the amount of kinetic energy an object posses according to this formula. Ek= 1/2mv2. There are two factors, which can alter the amount of kinetic energy. 1. The velocity of an object, how much momentum does the object carry. 2. The mass, small or big. if an object with mass of 5kg travelling at 7m/s has an overall kinetic energy of 123j. directly if an object weighing twice to have the same kinetic energy, its mass should be 4.959kg. you can get this using v2=Ek/0.5m.
How can kinetic energy change into potential energy?
Yes, kinetic energy can change into potential energy. in order to do so the delta x would have to increase. for example if a skier were to go off a large jump, they would be using their kinetic energy to gain altitude and that would be increasing the potential energy, hope this helps, not being able to do so would be completely illogical
If marble rolls across the table does it posses potential or kinetic energy?
The equation is K.E. = ½ * mass * velocity2 Kinetic energy is a measure of an object's energy due to the fact that has mass and is moving. So as long as the ball has mass and is moving, it has kinetic energy. Since all tables have friction the marble will slow down as to rolls and lose some KE. Potential Energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height. However since the ball is on a table (height), it also has potential energy. If one end of the table is a little higher than the other, it will gain potential energy as it rolls up the little hill, of course as it rolls up that little hill, it will lose the same amount of kinetic energy as the potential energy it gained. This is called "Conservation of Energy".
Is potential energy the same as kinetic energy?
No, potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
As height increases what happens to kinetic energy?
As height increases, the potential energy of an object also increases while the kinetic energy remains the same. When the object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
Is it possible to have kinetic and potential energy at the same time?
yes it is, but you can only have kinetic energy of the object is in motion and potential energy if the object is any height above zero
Is there a difference between potential and kinetic energy, or are they the same?
Yes, there is a difference between potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy that an object has due to its position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
WHAT IS AN OBJECT TOTAL KINETIC AND POTENTIAL ENERGY?
An object's total energy is the sum of its kinetic energy (due to motion) and potential energy (associated with its position or stored energy). This total energy remains constant in a closed system, meaning it stays the same even as the object's kinetic and potential energy change.
What will happen to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy of the object as it falls?
As the object falls, potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases. The total mechanical energy (sum of potential and kinetic energy) remains constant in the absence of air resistance.
What is the same and the difference between potential and kinetic energy?
Potential energy is energy stored in an object based on its position or configuration, while kinetic energy is energy possessed by an object in motion. The main similarity between potential and kinetic energy is that they are both forms of mechanical energy.
If an object has kinetic energy then it also must have?
Mass.
Are kinetic and potential energy the same?
No, kinetic and potential energy are not the same. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work in the future.
How can a object have potential and kinetic energy at the same time?
potential energy is typically measured as m*g*h which means that its a function of height. kinetic energy is .5*m*v^2 , which means kinetic energy is dependent on velocity. therefore if an object is at any altitude and has some velocity it has kinetic and potential energy
If an object that moves faster does it have greater potential energy?
no. if an object moves faster its kinetic energy increases but at the same time its potential energy decreases.
In what ways are potential and kinetic energy similar?
Potential and kinetic energy are similar in that they are both forms of energy that an object can possess. Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Both types of energy can be converted into each other, and they are both measured in the same units, such as joules.
