Yes, however it is very unlikely in day to day life.
It could be done if the nessesary calcualtions are perfromed and an object is dropped from a precise height so that in a moment of time, its gravitational potential energy is equal to it's current kinetic energy.
An even simpler way of making these energies equal is driving a car over a bridge of a known height and keeping the car at such a speed that its Ke is equal to it's GPe so that Ke=GPe

What are the two main forms of energy?
The two main forms of energy are Kinetic energy and Potential Energy. Kinetic energy is motion energy. Potential energy is energy stored in matter.
Explain how the motion of a swing illustrates the transformation between potential and kinetic energy?
1) at the top of the swing, the swinging object has all potential energy and no kinetic energy (no speed at that moment) while at the bottom there is no potential energy but a maximum in kinetic energy, so that the swinging object is fastest at the bottom.
Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
In energy transformations when a roller coaster is at the top of the hill the kinetic energy is?
Kinetic energy comes from movement. If the roller coaster is moving at the top of the hill, it has kinetic energy. if the rollercoaster isn't moving then it has potential energy.
Describe a stone falling off the tabletop in terms of both kinetic energy and potential energy?
Sitting on the table the stone has potential energy, relative to the ground, of weight times height, mgh. It has zero kinetic energy so its total energy is E = 0 + mgh. When it begins falling it loses potential energy (as it loses height) and gains kinetic energy ( as it picks up speed) so the sum stays the same as initially E = KE + PE = mgh. Just before it hits the ground all of its potential energy is gone and has been transformed into kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy at the bottom (1/2)mv^2 will equal the potential energy at the top.
When is potential energy equal to kinetic energy in a system?
Potential energy is equal to kinetic energy in a system when all of the potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy, typically at the point of maximum kinetic energy in the system.
If an object's mechanical energy is equal to its potential energy how much kinetic energy does it have?
Mechanical Energy= Potential energy+ Kinetic energy, so for the mechanical energy to be equal to be potential energy, the kinetic energy must be 0.
Is kinetic energy equal to potential energy in a system?
No, kinetic energy and potential energy are not equal in a system. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
Is potential energy equal to kinetic energy in a system?
In a system, potential energy and kinetic energy are not always equal. Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion. The total energy in a system is the sum of its potential and kinetic energy.
Potential energy plus kinetic energy equal what?
Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.
What is total minus energy kinetic energy is equal to?
Total minus kinetic energy is equal to potential energy. Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
What does the kinetic energy and potential energy equal together?
Quaternion Energy if the Kinetic Energy is a vector energy.
When is kinetic energy equal to potential energy in a system?
Kinetic energy is equal to potential energy in a system when the object is at its highest point, such as at the top of a swing or at the peak of a roller coaster.
Why is gravitational potential energy equal to kinetic ebergy?
Gravitational potential energy is not equal to kinetic energy:MGY doesn't always equal (1/2)mv2. This holds true in the CHANGE of gravitational potential energy being equal to the CHANGE in kinetic energy because of the Law of Conservation of Energy, Mass, and Charge.
When does potential energy equal kinetic energy in a system?
Potential energy equals kinetic energy in a system when all of the potential energy has been converted into kinetic energy, typically at the lowest point of a system's motion.
In a closed system energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy?
Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.
What in a closed system energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy?
Mechanical energy is equal to potential energy plus kinetic energy in a closed system. The total mechanical energy is conserved.
