Does kinetic energy have chemical energy?

No, kinetic energy and chemical energy are two different forms of energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.


Is a a golf ball on a tee an example of gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy?

Yes, a golf ball on a tee is an example of gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy when it is struck by a golf club. As the ball falls from the tee, the potential energy decreases and is converted into kinetic energy, resulting in the ball moving.


A soccer ball rolling toward a goal potential or kinetic energy?

Your foot exerts a force on the ball, causing it to accelerate, and the ball exerts the same force on your foot, which does not cause you to accelerate because that force is transmitted through you into the planet Earth that you are standing on, which is so massive that it is not noticeably affected.


Is rolling a ball up a hill exothermic?

Rolling a ball up a hill is not a chemical reaction, so it is not classified as exothermic (releasing heat) or endothermic (absorbing heat). The energy required to roll the ball up the hill comes from the input of mechanical work, rather than a chemical process.


What is the relationship between potential energy and kinetic energy?

The more potential energy an object has, the more kinetic energy it will have. Here's a little something that you can do at your house. Fill up a water balloon with water. once your done with that, drop the ballon from about a foot from the ground. release the ball and you will see that it will not pop. once your done with that, pick up the balloon and put it above your head and release. first think this, make sure you dont want to get wet. anyways you will see that the balloon will pop. it had higher potential energy when it was above your head and it had more kinetic energy. when it was closer to the ground it had less potential energy and less kinetic energy. that's why it did not pop.

What type of energy does a ball have when it falling through the air?

When a ball is falling through the air, it has both kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is the energy stored due to the ball's position relative to the ground. As the ball falls, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.


What is the two forms of energy?

Kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy) A ball at the top of a building getting ready to be dropped has potential energy, but a ball falling has kinetic energy If the ball is at the top of the building, it has 100% potential and 0% kinetic and when it is halfway from top to bottom and falling it has 50% of each


What is the energy in an object about to fall?

the energy in an object about to fall is potential energy then kinetic energy because when the object is not falling, it has potential energy but when it's actually falling, it has kinetic energy.


What is the two main forms of energy?

Kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy) A ball at the top of a building getting ready to be dropped has potential energy, but a ball falling has kinetic energy If the ball is at the top of the building, it has 100% potential and 0% kinetic and when it is halfway from top to bottom and falling it has 50% of each


When you drop a ball what kind of energy does the falling ball have?

When a ball is dropped, it has gravitational potential energy that is converted to kinetic energy as it falls due to gravity. This kinetic energy increases as the ball gains speed during the fall.


Example of kinetic energy?

Anything that had potential energy then converted to kinetic energy. A good example would a ball. If you are playing bowling and you are swinging the ball backwards and about to through it foward, the ball has potential energy. Once you release it, and while the ball is falling it has kinetic energy. The energy of the changes from potential to kinetic energy. Hope this helps XD


Where is the maximum and minimum kinetic and potential energy found as a ball drops?

A ball at rest contains only potential energy. A ball in motion contains almost all kinetic energy. But it gets tricky here. A free falling ball that has not yet reached terminal velocity has no potential energy. That energy is being given up to kinetic energy. Once the ball reaches terminal velocity in Earth's atmosphere, air resistance holds back further conversion of potential energy to kinetic.


A soccer player kicks a ball into the air and it lands far down the field Which energy conversion occurs as the ball falls from its highest point?

When a soccer player kicks a ball into the air, its kinetic energy is drained through air resistance and by the force of gravity. At its highest point, the ball has all of its vertical kinetic energy converted into potential energy. As the ball falls, this potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy. It should be noted that through the entire process of rising and falling the ball maintained horizontal kinetic energy being dissipated by resistance until it hit the ground and stopped.


What will happen to the potential and kinetic energy as the ball falls?

As the ball falls, its potential energy will decrease while its kinetic energy will increase. This is because potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the ball falls due to the force of gravity acting on it.


How does kinetic energy of the ball relate to the bounce of the ball?

kinetic energy is enegy being used, the opposite of potential energy, which is energy being stored, or waiting to be used. When a ball bounces it is using its energy. When a ball is held by a person, it holds potential energy, or the potential to use energy.


When a ball is falling what is the energy change?

As a ball fall downwards, it's velocity continuously increases, therefore the kinetic energy increases. As the height from the ground level decreases, the potential energy decreases. Further, the total mechanical energy remains constant throughout the motion.


Describe the conversions between potential and kinetic energy that occur when you shoot a basketball in a basket?

When the ball is positioned in your hands it has full potential energy. As you move and the ball is thrown at the basket, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, by the transfer of kinetic energy from your arms, to your hands, to the ball. When the ball hits the basket some of its kinetic energy was converted into potential energy and then back into kinetic energy as it hit the ground.
