When you drop a book the original potential energy is converted into the kinetic energy, When the book hits bottom the kinetic energy is absorbed by the surface underneath and some is converted to sound energy.
This maintains the law of conservation of energy. the total amount of energy in this universe is constant and remains constant. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed it can just change its form from one form to another.

Is a dog sleeping an example of kinetic or potential energy?
Assuming this is a real question, and not just a joke, the answer is "potential", as there is no motion.
How long should an evening gown be?
An evening gown typically falls to the floor or slightly longer to create a formal and elegant look. It should be long enough to cover your shoes and skim the floor as you walk. The exact length will depend on your height and personal preference.
Organisms living near hydrothermal vents get their energy from .?

Why is the clavicle at risk to fracture when a person falls on her shoulder?
The best way to understand this is to look at a skeleton. YOu can see how the head of the humerus anchors right into the clavicle. Press gently on the head of the humerus parallel to the floor and note the pressure the condial exerts in that direction, and the tendency for the clavicle to move, thus indicating it too is being pressed upon. As these bones are in contact, impact is transmitted from one to the other, thus creating a potential for fracture.
What is the waist to floor measurement for this dress?
The waist to floor measurement for this dress is the distance from the natural waistline to the floor when the dress is worn.
When a piece of clay falls from the table to the floor what happens to the potential energy it had while it was on the table?
As the clay falls it has kinetic energy
What happens to the energy In a ball when it drops to the floor?
When a ball drops to the floor, the potential energy it had due to its height is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon impact with the floor, some of this energy is absorbed by both the ball and the floor, resulting in sound and heat energy.
When a piece of clay falls from the table to the florr what happens to the potential energy it had while it was on the table?
While an object is falling, most of the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy, i.e., it gets faster and faster. When it crashes on the ground, this kinetic energy is converted to other types of energy, usually heat.
When the ball falls back toward the floor its energy increases and its decreases?
As the ball falls toward the floor, its potential energy decreases due to gravity pulling it downward while its kinetic energy increases as it gains speed. This exchange between potential and kinetic energy follows the principle of conservation of mechanical energy.
What is the energy conversion of a falling bag hitting the floor?
When a falling bag hits the floor, the potential energy of the bag due to its height above the ground is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon impact with the floor, some of this kinetic energy is dissipated as sound and heat energy.
What best represents the energy changes taking place while a pen is falling from a table to the floor?
As the pen falls, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. At the moment of impact with the floor, some of the kinetic energy is transferred as sound and thermal energy.
Energy transformation when a book hits the floor?
When a book hits the floor, the potential energy of the book is transformed into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon impact, some of the kinetic energy is converted into sound and heat energy, resulting in the book coming to a stop.
What the kinetic potential energy conversion that occur when basketball bounces?
When a basketball bounces, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls downward. This kinetic energy then allows the ball to compress upon impact with the floor, storing elastic potential energy. This potential energy is then converted back into kinetic energy as the ball rebounds back up.
How much kinetic energy does a book have just it hits the floor?
Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.
What happens to the energy of a ball when it is dropped to the floor?
The kinetic energy of the ball is converted into elastic energy through deformation (I assume we are not talking about steel balls). The elastic energy is then released, pushing the ball back up. Some energy is lost in the ball where it will cause heating, and some is probably lost to the floor, depending how elastic the floor is, so the rebound bounce won't reach the same height as the initial height, but total energy must be conserved.
How does the falling mango change it's energy conversion?
When a mango falls from a tree, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground due to gravity. The potential energy of the mango at the top of the tree is due to its height above the ground, and as it falls, this potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion, increases. This energy conversion follows the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
Does a book falling from a shelf have gravitational energy?
Yes; while on the shelf it has potential energy due to gravity of mgh where m = mass and g =gravity acceleration and h is height fom floor. As it falls its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy mv squared/2 where v = velocity
