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.
What type of energy exists in a ball sitting on top of a hill?
kinetic energy
What energy does a boulder have sitting on top of a mountain?
A rock on the top of a hill has potential energy. When it falls it has kinetic energy. You are probably in 6th grade to be learning this. :) Hope this helped you!
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.
What type of energy does a builder sitting at the top of a cliff give off?
potential energy
Do a rock sitting on top of a cliff has no energy?
If it's not moving it doesn't have any energy
A rock sitting on top of a cliff has?
A rock that is sitting on top of a cliff has what is called potential energy.
What name do you give to the energy that the car has on the edge of a cliff?
By virtue of its position on the top of the cliff it has "potential" energy. If it were to fall off the cliff this potential energy would be converted into "kinetic" energy (the energy in movement of a mass).
What energy would a diver at the top of a cliff use?
The diver at the top of the cliff would have potential energy due to their position above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the diver falls towards the water.
Is a large rock falling from a cliff and breaking mechanical?
Yes, a large rock falling from a cliff and breaking is an example of mechanical energy being transformed into kinetic energy, as the potential energy stored in the rock at the top of the cliff is converted into energy of motion as it falls and breaks upon impact.
What type of energy is involved in the motion of a top spinning?
The type of energy involved in the motion of a top spinning is kinetic energy.
What lives on a cliff top?
there is nothing that lives on the top of a cliff.
What type of energy does a boulder have as it sits on the top of a cliff 30 feet above the ground?
Gravitational potential energy as work is to be done to shift to such a height
A 65kg climber on top of a mountain 8800m high?
5605600J
What are Examples of storing gravitational potential energy?
Examples of storing gravitational potential energy include: Water in a raised dam A boulder at the top of a cliff A book on a high shelf A person at the top of a staircase.
What kind of energy does a balloon floating in the air have than a boulder a the top of a cliff?
The balloon floating in the air has potential energy due to its height above the ground, while the boulder at the top of the cliff also has potential energy for the same reason. The balloon may have some additional energy due to its compressed air inside, but both objects primarily have potential energy in this scenario.
