The gas will have thermal energy given by its specific heat capacity (at constant pressure or volume depending on the situation) times the rise in temperature. This thermal energy is possessed because of the increased kinetic energy of its molecules, due to the rise in temperature.

Is rolling down a hill potential or kinetic energy?

Rolling down a hill involves both potential and kinetic energy. At the top of the hill, the object has potential energy due to its height. As it rolls down, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the object gains speed.


What happens when kinetic energy is absorbed as an object moves toward the earth?

The kinetic energy increases as the velocity increases (KE = 1/2mv2) until terminal velocity is reached, at which point the velocity becomes constant, and kinetic energy will no longer increase. The potential energy and kinetic energy will be at equilibrium, where PE = -KE.


When an arrow shot from its bow it has K.E. From where does it get K.E?

When you stretch a bow , the work done by you in stretching the bow is stored in the form of potential energy . This potential energy get converted in to kinetic energy of the bow when released.


When a book falls to the floor what happens to the potential energy?

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.


Execute a swan dive would be kinetic energy or potential energy?

Executing a swan dive involves both kinetic and potential energy. When the person jumps off the platform and falls towards the water, they possess potential energy due to their height above the water. As they dive and move through the air, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of motion.

When a gas is heated is all of the absorbed energy converted to kinetic energy or potential?

When a gas is heated, the absorbed energy mostly gets converted to kinetic energy of the gas particles, which results in an increase in their speed and therefore temperature. Some of the energy might also be converted to potential energy, such as increasing the distance between the gas particles.


What kind of energy do windmills convert it is kinetic or potential?

The kinetic energy of the wind (moving mass of air) is (usually) converted into electric energy.


How do you convert potential energy into kinetic?

If you fired a bullet vertically upward, it would have kinetic energy at first, when it gets to the top of its travel this would all have been converted to potential energy.


Where does potential energy go when it is converted into kinetic energy?

When potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, it is transformed into the energy of motion.


Is potential energy was converted to kinetic energy?

It CAN be converted to kinetic energy, but it won't always do so.


Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)


What is the same has kinetic?

Potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, as seen in a swinging pendulum where potential energy at the highest point is converted into kinetic energy at the lowest point.


What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?

If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.


What is the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy. The two are related because potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy and vice versa.


How is kinetic energy different from potential energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.


Is kinetic energy the same as potential energy?

No, kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.


How are potential and kinetic energy related?

Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.
