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.
