A pendulum is designed to transfer potential gravitational energy into what?
When the bob of the pendulum while moving stops at one, its Kinetic energy changes completely into potential energy and when it starts its motion again, the potential energy changes to the kinetic energy
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.
What is the connection between kinetic energy and potential energy?
When potential energy and kinetic energy are combined it is called mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanical energy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position).
Is a book falling down from a high shelf kinetic or potential energy?
It's neither. It's just a piece of fruit. While it's hanging and not moving, it has gravitational potential energy because of its position, and food potential energy because of its chemical composition. When it separates from the tree and moves to a different location, such as the ground or a processing plant, it has kinetic energy because of its motion. Its chemical potential energy doesn't change until it's processed, consumed, or rotted.
What are the effects of potential energy and kinetic energy to 3 states of matter?
Kinetic energy effects changes of state because it is when energy that has been held up inside the object (aka potential energy), is finally released. For example: On a roller coaster, the cart goes up a hill. At the top of the hill, right before it is about to go down another hill, it has potential energy, or stored up energy. Then whe it is going down the hill, all the energy is released and now the energy is in the form of kinetic. Another example: A marble is attached onto the end of a string. You pull the marble back. While being held back, the marble has potential energy. When you let the marble go, that energy turns into potential energy, because it is in motion. Defintions: Potential energy: Energy that is stored up Kinetic energy: Energy in motion
Is potential energy measured in consumption or expenditure?
Potential energy is stored energy. It has nothing to do with consuming or using energy - although you need to use some other energy to increase an object's potential energy. For example, in the case of gravitational potential energy, an object above ground level (or any other reference level chosen) has a positive potential energy, while an object below ground level has a negative potential energy.
Energy in motion is kinetic energy while the position is?
potential 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.
What energy does an apple hanging from a tree have?
chemical energy
What is the diffrence between kinetic energy and potential energy?
kinetic energy is energy being exerted like while your running or jogging and potential energy is energy that is being stored up while doing nothing such as standing or staring your building up potential energy
What is the energy transfer while Jumping?
It is the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.
How is potential energy created in a chemical cell?
potential energy is created by separating charges with chemical reactions so that one terminal is negatively charged, while the other terminal becomes positively charged.
What are barbell squats?
barbell squats are when you have one barbell in each hand at your side, while keeping your hands at your side, do squats.
A pendulum is designed to transfer potential gravitational energy into what?
When the bob of the pendulum while moving stops at one, its Kinetic energy changes completely into potential energy and when it starts its motion again, the potential energy changes to the kinetic energy
What type of energy is a stretched catapult?
The kind of potential energy in a catapult is known as elastic potential energy. The potential energy that is in the catapult is used when you activate the catapult and the rock (or any kind of ammo) fires.
What can be said about the potential energy and kinetic energy of the stone as it falls?
The longer it falls the more kinetic energy it gets while decreasing it's potential energy.
How does potential gravitational energy produce energy?
Potential energy - gravitational as well as other types - provides a possibility to store energy. For example, to push something up, against the force of gravity, requires energy. While the object falls back down, it has the ability to convert this potential energy back into some other form of energy. Similarly, to compress a spring, you are spending energy; when the spring relaxes, the energy can be recovered, for example, to drive a toy.
