When a gas is heated does all of the absorbed energy convert to kinetic energy If not please tell what it is converted to part kinetic and part potential energy or just potential energy?
Bberman
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.

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.
Is rolling down a hill potential or kinetic energy?
Yes, because potential energy is energy stored but kinetic is energy in motion.
What type of energy is represesnted by a log floating down a river?
Kinetic energy (the energy of motion). There is also potential energy being converted into kinetic energy.
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
When a baseball player throws a baseball he transfers kinetic energy from his body to kinetic energy in the ball Where does the baseball player get his kinetic energy from?
The kinetic energy comes from potential energy, which he got from ATP energy, which is produced through food. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy after the muscles contract and relax. Sources: School science
When a gas is heated is all of the absorbed energy converted to kinetic energy or potential?
When a gas is heated the energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Potential energy is frequently converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy?
can be converted to potential energy.
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.
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.
Is potential energy was converted to kinetic energy?
It CAN be converted to kinetic energy, but it won't always do so.
What happen to the potential energy of an object as it falls?
It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)
Hands moving on a battery operated clock is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
Can potential energy only be converted to kinetic energy?
by force
As an object falls the gravitational potential energy of the object is converted to what?
Some of its potential energy changes to kinetic energy.
What happens with the energy that is not transferred from one trophic level to the next?
Those energy that are not transferred to ATP loss as heat.
Energy transformation when dropping a yoyo?
Potential - Kinetic - Potiential again as you drop the yo yo, the potential energy it had at its height is converted to kinetic energy. as it starts to come back up, it is converted back to potential energy
