Give an example of a transformation of energy kinetic potential is?

Answer 1

===> A stone or a Baseball tossed straight up.

-- Leaves your hand with speed ---> has kinetic energy

-- Slows down as it sails higher ---> loses kinetic energy

-- But gains potential energy as it moves higher.

-- The kinetic energy it's losing is changing into potential energy.

-- Eventually, it stops rising, when all of its kinetic energy is gone.

-- On the way down, its potential energy turns back into kinetic energy,

until it meets the ground, at a healthy speed and with a healthy 'thunk'.
A pump filling a water reservoir with water below the reservoir level.

Easy to use the turbine to convert it back to kinetic energy.
A bike rider stops pedaling and lets his bicycle coast up a hill.
Kinetic energy is the energy any object possesses due to its movement. Any moving object has KE.

Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. A weight, lifted up, has potential energy due to its ability to fall down and hit something.

Answer 2

A moving car hits a wall, the moving car will likely sustain damage. A dent in a metal body part of the car is considered stored inelastic potential energy.

kinetic to inelastic potential

Answer 3

When you lift a book from the ground to a shelf, the potential energy of the book increases as it gains height. When you release the book from the shelf, its potential energy converts to kinetic energy as it falls back towards the ground.
