In a rollercoaster, potential [[i believe]] is the highest when it starts, or rises, and vice versa for descreasing kinetic energy. Throwing a Basketball in the air, when it reaches it's highest point, it's potential energy is at it's maximum and the kinetic energy is low for a moment until it comes back down

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.
Is a waterfall an example of mechanical energy?
From my understanding, yes. A waterfall is an example of potential gravitational energy and kinetic energy. The water is moving downstream at a fast pace (kinetic energy) and when reaching the drop off the water gains potential gravitational energy and drops towards the ground. Mechanical energy is a mix between Kinetic energy and any type of potential energy so yes, a waterfall is an example of Mechanical Energy.
Is thermal energy kinetic or potential?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.
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.
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
What is accomplished when an object is moved by a force?
When an object is moved by a force, work is done, increasing or decreasing its kinetic energy, often but not always decreasing or increasing its potential energy.
How does increasing speed affect potential energy?
Increasing the speed will increase the KINETIC energy, not the potential energy. Of course, the potential energy may eventually be converted into kinetic energy, for example if the object moves upwards.
What is most likely true of the energy of the pieces while they are slipping?
They have an increasing amount of kinetic energy and a decreasing amount of potential energy. (study island)
Is it possible for a body to both have increasing potential energy and kinetic energy?
Yes; for example, a car accelerating up a hill has an increasing speed and therefore Ek, yet is gaining gravitational potential.
What can be said about the potential energy and kinetic energy of the stone as it falls?
The longer it falls the more kinetic energy it gets while decreasing it's potential energy.
What energy is in a kicked football?
A kicked football has, of course, kinetic energy. As it moves up, its vertical movement provides potential energy. Until it goes up to its maximum displacement from the ground, its potential energy is at 100% while the kinetic energy doesn't exist. As the football moves back down, its potential energy is decreasing, but kinetic energy is increasing because there's movement in the football
Is pizza potential energy?
yes, it's "potential energy" your body can use. another example of potential energy vrs kinetic energy: A car made from a mouse trap, you have full potential energy when the trap is pulled back the potential energy decreases as the trap release and doesn't exist once the trap is back in its original place, although the kinetic energy keeps increasing. or: When your at the top of a toboggan hill you have full potential energy. when your going down the hill that potential energy is decreasing as your kinetic energy increases.
How does increasing speed affect an objects potential energy?
It doesn't. Increasing speed affects the KINETIC energy.
What affects potential?
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.
Is it possible for body to both have increasing potential energy and kinetic energy?

Increasing the speed of an object does what to the potential energy?
The potential (kinetic) energy increases E = (m*v2)/2
What increasing the speed of an object does what to the potential energy?
The potential (kinetic) energy increases E = (m*v2)/2
