Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has when it is in motion, so anything that will stop the motion of an object will decrease it's kinetic energy. The motion of an object can be stopped by any outside force acting on the object, whether sudden (think of stopping a rolling soccer ball with your foot -- that's decreasing it's kinetic energy), or continuous (the friction of that ball against the air and ground will eventually cause it to stop rolling on its own).

In the vacuum of space where there is no air to create friction a projectile will continue moving at the same speed without stopping and without decreasing its kinetic energy.

Gelatin and gelozone nitrate and copper ll sulphate is inversley proportional to kinetic energy

kinetic energy cannot be proportional (or inversely proportional) to a chemical substance. For starters, a chemical substance is a chemical substance and doesn't change while it exists.

ANS3:You are looking for the term "potential energy".

What Explain what happens to the average kinetic energy, thermal energy, and temperature of a substance when the particles in the substance slow down.?

The particles in a substance slow down when the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases. As the average kinetic energy decreases, the internal energy decreases, and so the thermal energy decreases. As the thermal energy of the substance decreases, the temperature decreases.


If kinetic energy icreases?

if kinetic energy increases than potetial energy decreases


What happens to an objects temperature if the kinetic energy of its particles decreases?

Since temperature is a measure of kinetic energy, so as kinetic energy decreases, temperature must also decrease.


What happens to the kinetic energy when temperature is changed?

When the temperature is increased the kinetic energy increases, and when it is decreased the kinetic energy decreases.


Does kinetic energy decreases as a box accelerates down an inclined plane?

Kinetic energy increases; potential energy decreases, because the object is now in motion


When temperature increases the kinetic energy of the particles decreases?

Kinetic energy is directly related to temperature, because temperature is the average kinetic energy of an object. Therefore, as the temperature of an object decreases, its kinetic energy decreases, as well.


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.


How is the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of matter affected by change in temperature?

As temperature is increased the kinetic energy of the constituent particles of matter increases.When temperature decreases the kinetic energy of them decreases. This is because temperature, or rather heat, is itself energy


Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is?

Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is cooled. Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of particles. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. So when temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy decreases, so the energy of motion decreases, and the molecule slows down.


As the temperature of a gas decreases what changes occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?

The amount of kinetic energy increases.


As the temperature of a gas decreases what change occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?

The amount of kinetic energy increases.


What happen to the potential energy of an object as it falls?

It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)
