Energy is never created or destroyed, but different forms of energy can be converted into another. For example, potential energy is the energy of position; a pendulum at the peak of its swing, or a spring tightly compressed. It can be converted into kinetic energy, for example, the pendulum swinging rapidly at the bottom of the swing, or the object propelled by the spring.

If an object is directed upwards, its kinetic energy will decrease and its potential energy will increase until its kinetic energy is 0, at which point it will begin to fall downward, making its potential energy become kinetic again.

What type of energy is kinetic and potential?
Kinetic and potential energy are types of mechanical energy.
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.
Execute a swan dive would be kinetic energy or potential energy?
Potential energy
Differentiate kinetic energy from potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy something has because it is moving. Potential energy is the energy something has because of its position or configuration.
What type of energy is stored in thermal energy-kinetic or potential energy?
It consist both, the kinetic as well as potential energy. Justification: As per potential energy formula mgh m-mass in kg g- Acceleration due to gravity h - Height if any of the above parameters does not have zero value then their should be a potential energy. Kinetic energy does exist.
How can you tell kinetic energey and potential energy apart?
Potential energy is energy that is soon to become kinetic energy.Say there is a rock on the top of a hill.That is potential energy.When it falls it becomes kinetic energy.
How kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy?
Potential energy is sometimes called the energy of position. This means that it has the ability (potential) to become kinetic energy. A Bowling ball that is held over your head has potential energy. As soon as it is dropped and begins moving, the potential energy begins transforming into kinetic energy.
Does the activated complex have the highest kinetic energy?
No, the kinetic energy that was present before the collision will become potential energy.
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
How can stored energy change into active moving energy?
Stored energy can change into moving energy by transfering energy from potential energy to kinetic 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.
An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
What is the total kinetic energy and potential energy?
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
What are the two basic types of energy?
There are two main types of energy which is kinetic and potential energy.. Kinetic energy is an energy associated with motion.. while the potential energy is an energy stored with the position of an object, or its chemical composition.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
How potential energy is changed to kinetic energy?
potential energy is changed to kinetic energy when you push.
Potential energy is frequently converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy?
can be converted to potential energy.
