When kinetic energy changes into potential energy it undergoes an energy?

An energy transformation.


Why does a ball gets lower and lower when it bounces'?

The greater the gravitational potential energy the more the kinetic energy, so as it bounces, the gravitational potential energy will decrease, so will the kinetic energy decrease and everything will decrease and they will suck


Does potential energy decrease with height?

if the body is moving upward its potential energy would decrease as its kinetic energy would increase

No. Its potential energy does decrease.


When a jumbo jet slows and descends on approach to landing there is a decrease in both its kinetic and potential energy Where does this energy go?

When a jumbo jet slows and descends on approach to landing, there is a decrease in both its kinetic and potential energy. This energy is used to move air.


Is hydroelectric tidals potential or kinetic?

kinetic


When wax solidifies the kinetic energy of the particles in the wax...?

No change in kinetic energy and a decrease in potential energy. The potential energy becomes more negative as the bonds are formed during solidification (potential energy is zero when the object is a gas and reduces from that point as the state changes).


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


As a planet approaches perihelion does it potential energy increase or decrease?

At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum. The sum of kinetic + potential energy, of course, remains constant.At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum.
