Unless the speed of the rock changes, the kinetic energy does not change. If you are talking about a rock that is being thrown, of course the kinetic energy decreases as kinetic energy is converted into potential by the conservative gravitational force.

What energy that is the total amount of kinetic and potential energy?

well the sum of potential and kinetic energy must equal zero because if a body is at rest initially it possess potential energy but when it gets into motion all those potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy, Basically kinetic energy is a result of potential energy. Answer2: The sum of potential energy and Kinetic energy is quaternion energy. kinetic energy is vector energy and potential energy is scalar energy. The sum of a scalar and a vector is a quaternion. William Rowan Hamilton discovered this in 1843. Currently Physics does not recognize kinetic energy as a vector. The sum of gravitational potential and kinetic energy is E = -mMG/r + mcV where mcV is the kinetic/vector energy. This vector energy is the source of "dark energy". It is also the reason the Cosmos is in equilibrium (not contracting), in that it balances the gravitational force of attraction with mcDel.V, the centrifugal force of expansion. The centrifugal force is the divergence force from a vector, the kinetic energy mcV, a vector energy.


Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles in an object thus an increase in temperature results in a?

Thermodynamic temperature (absolute temperature) is proportional to the averagekinetic energy of particles in "gases". An increase in temperature will increase theaverage kinetic energy of the particles of the gas and at the same time the particle'skinetic energy distribution gets broader.If pressure of the gas is kept constant, the gas expands (increases its volume).If the volume of the gas is kept constant, the gas pressure increases.


When a pigment molecule absorbs a photon one of its electrons?

the outer electrons which are weakly attracte towards nucleus of a pigment can absorb a photon and gets exited to its unstable higher levels. It releases more energy when it gets stabilized to its normal state. This energy can be trapped by the electron of next pigment molecules. In this way the energy gets transfered from one to other.


If you toss a ball in the air at what point does it have the most kinetic energy?

As soon as the ball has been released.In this case, the energy starts off purely kinetic; dependent on motion. Once the ball has reached it's highest point, it has converted to potential energy; dependent on height. It then resumes falling back to kinetic energy. This is best shown by a graph of energy over time where Potential energy is a parabola opened down (frown face) and Kinetic energy is a parabola opened up (smiley face).With this you can also note that Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy = mechanical energy. These two graphs added together should make a straight line for Mechanical energy (in simplistic demonstration).


What is the affect of temperature on cellular respiration?

Usually, the higher the temperature the faster enzymes react and the quicker a reaction moves forward, however, if the temperature gets too hot, it can denature the proteins involved in the reaction.

How does a Bike gets energy from the sun?

A bike does not get energy from the sun. A bike takes kinetic energy from you and makes it into a proportional amount of kinetic energy depending on what gear you are on.


Where does the energy from solar wind hydroelectric sources originally come from?

As you will know energy can not be created. Only transferred from one thing from another. Solar energy captures energy from the sun. Wind energy gets it from the kinetic energy making it move. And hydro electric also gets from kinetic energy. But kinetic energy from the movement of the waves.


How does evaporation occur?

Evaporation is a spontaneous phenomenon. The molecules in the liquid possess kinetic energy. All the molecules donot possess the same kinetic energy. The molecules with higher kinetic energy are on the surface of liquids. They can readily overcome the intermolecular attractions and escape into the atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as evaporation. As the molecules with higher kinetic energy keep on escaping the whole kinetic energy of the liquid is lowered. Since energy is directly proportional to temperature. Thus evaporation causes cooling effect.


Are Exploding fireworks kinetic or potential energy?

They "are" neither; an object HAS energy, but saying that it IS energy is not entirely correct.Before it explodes, a firework has chemical energy. After the explosion, this energy gets converted to heat, and to kinetic energy.
