What type of energy exists in a ball sitting on top of a hill?

kinetic energy


When does the skier have the greatest potential energy?

Just standing there, a skier on the top of the mountain has potential energy. If she uses her poles to push-pull before taking off, she's building up a small amount of kinetic energy. If a skier is then moving down the mountain, his movement downward is kinetic energy which increases as his speed increases. If he or she collides with an immovable object while skiing, kinetic energy abruptly ends. If he or she takes off from the top of the mountain and an avalanche happens to hit at the same time, the kinetic energy of the avalanche engulfs the skier and overpowers the lower kinetic energy of the skier. The skier and avalanche become as if one in the kinetic force of the avalanche--until the skier collides with something or is buried, and thus is separated from the avalanche's kinetic energy which continues until the avalanche stops.


A certain pendulum has a potential energy of 20 J when it is at the top of its swing. What is the kinetic energy?

If at the top of the swing the pendulum is STOPPED then it has zero kinetic 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.


Why it is difficult to drink liquid with straw on the top of the mountain?

It would be more difficult to drink with a straw on the top of a mountain because of low atmospheric pressure. You would not have as much pressure to push the drink up the straw.
