Which type of energy becomes greater as the kinetic energy becomes greater?

The kinetic type does.


Is the kinetic energy of hydrogen gas greater or less than the kinetic energy of liquid hydrogen How do you know?

You can only refer to the Kinetic Energy of the Gas Molecules in this manner, not the entire Volume of the Gas as an Object. To become a Gas Hydrogen must increase its Thermal Energy to the point that it goes from Liquid State to Gaseous State. This increase in Thermal Energy causes and increase in the Motion of the Hydrogen Molecules...increasing their Kinetic Energy. If cooled to Absolute Zero Temperature their KE goes to Zero and Molecular motion Stops.


If two roller coasters have the same mass the one with the greater what will have a greater Kinetic energy?

The one with the greater velocity will have the greater kinetic energy.


What happens to the kinetic energy when an object moves faster?

it gets greater because the greater the mass the greater kinetic energy


How does increasing mass affect kinetic energy?

It increases the kinetic energy, because it is inversely related.


Does a car have greater kinetic energy than a motorcycle?

Kinetic energy depends both on the mass and on the speed.


Why can't kinetic energy be greater than potential energy?

Kinetic energy - the energy of a mass in motion CAN be greater than the potential energy of the mass.The kinetic energy of a comet hitting the Earth would be far greater than the potential energy of the comet once it entered Earth gravity field.


If the speed of an object doubles the kinetic energy of the object?

At twice the speed, the kinetic energy will be four times greater.


Where does the energy come from to make ATP at the chloroplast?

From the motion of hydrogen ions from the kinetic energy of hydrogen ions passing through ATP synthase


What happens to an object kinetic energy if the object speed increases?

The kinetic energy will increase. Kinetic energy is defined by K=one half mv2 where m is the mass of the object, and v is the velocity of the object. The greater the velocity, the greater the kinetic energy. Since the velocity is squared, increasing it will cause the kinetic energy to grow much faster than if you increased the mass.


What is more- potential energy or kinetic energy of an electron in hydrogen atom?

Both are equal.


What is kinetic energyhow can kinetic energy help to explain the behavior of substances?

Kinetic energy is the energy a body has when in motion. The faster the speed, the greater the kinetic energy. The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2mv2, where m is mass in kg, and v is velocity in m/s.
