How can kinetic energy turn into potential energy?

Answer 1

true

Answer 2

first it goes kinetic energy, potential energy, mechanical energy, to chemical energy.

kinetic energy- moves energy to provide it

potential energy- stores energy to provide energy

mechanical energy- uses energy and provides it

chemical energy- energy that uses energy to provide energy but...makes the energy that we can use but is bad to use.(not good to use.)

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

Kinetic energy can be transformed into potential energy by adding height to the system.

Looking at basic energy of mechanics, the total energy is equal to potential plus kinetic.

mgh + 1/2mv^2 = total energy

Because energy is conserved (without any work on the system), the final energy should be equal to the initial energy.

If the object is raised off the ground, more energy is transferred to potential, because "h" will increase. Because more energy is transferred to potential, energy will be taken away from kinetic by decreasing the velocity.

Answer 5

A good example of how you can turn Kinetic Energy into potential energy and vice versa is on a roller coaster. Since energy must be conserved according to the Law of conservation of energy, you can set your final energy and add it to your initial energy.

Let's assume I'm atop a frictionless roller coaster at 100m on earth and I am 50kg and I suddenly go down a 50 meter hill.

To calculate this, I need the potential & kinetic energy formula

PE = mass * gravity * height

KE = (1/2) mass * velocity^2

(50 * 9.8 * 100) + ((1/2) * 50 * 0^2) = ((1/2) 50 * v^2) + (50 * 9.8 * 50)

There's 49000 J in the system according to m * g * h, so use algebra to convert your potential energy to kinetic energy using the law of conservation of energy.

I got 31.3 m/s at the bottom of the hill, but suddenly I see there's another 40m tall hill in front of me (not possible to have a hill taller than the first hill because that would involve creating energy!)

(1/2 * 50 * (31.3)^2) + (50 * 9.8 * 50) = (50 * 9.8 * 40) + ((1/2) * 50 * v^2)

According to that, I am now moving at 34.292 m/s.

There's just one example of how you can convert kinetic energy to potential and potential to kinetic energy. For a more in-depth explanation, there's a lot of online resources.

Just search for the Law of Conservation of Energy and you should find tons of resources.

Hope that helped!

Answer 6

Kinetic energy can turn into potential energy by transferring the energy from an object in motion to a position where it can be stored as potential energy. This is often seen in systems where an object's motion is converted into a higher position against a gravitational force, such as a roller coaster climbing up a hill. The kinetic energy of the moving object is then stored as gravitational potential energy.

Answer 7

when it startes to move like bow pulled back then relesed

Answer 8

Yes.
