no matter what happens to the bubble, even if it sinks or rises, the mass will remain the same throughout. we all know that as we go deeper into water, the pressure increases with the depth. hence, when the bubble rises, the pressure exerted on it decreases and simultaneously, the volume increases. that is all that happens to the bubble. the mass remains constant unless it bursts. the mass of air in the bubble originally is now dissolved in the water. always remember that the mass of anything is constant as long as it is acted upon the same gravitational force.

What happens to potential energy when a ball is tossed into the air?

The potential energy of the ball decreases as it rises due to kinetic energy converting to gravitational potential energy. At the highest point of its trajectory, the potential energy is at its maximum. When the ball falls back down, the potential energy is converted back to kinetic energy.


What happens to a basketball's kinetic energy as it rises toward the basket?

As a basketball rises toward the basket, its kinetic energy decreases. This is because its velocity decreases as it moves against the force of gravity. At the highest point of its trajectory, the basketball's kinetic energy is lowest.


As a rocket rises its kinetic energy changes. At the time the rocket reaches its highest point most of the kinetic energy of the rocket has been and mdash?

When an object - rocket or otherwise - rises, its kinetic energy gets converted to gravitational potential energy. At its highest point, if it rises directly upwards, all the kinetic energy will be converted to gravitational potential energy. However, its movement may also have a sideways component; in that case, not all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.


Why does potential energy when water bubble rises from water?

This is rather complicated, as it involves work being done by the force of buoyancy. One way to look at this is to imagine the bubble as a balloon having a negligible weight relative to the weight of the air it contains. In air, this imaginary balloon weighs nothing because (by Archimedes Principle) it is buoyed up by a force exactly equal to the weight of the air it displaces. Now submerge this "balloon" in water. So long as it is submerged, the "balloon" will experience a buoyancy force upward (i.e., towards the surface of the water) equal to the weight of the water it displaces minus the weight of the air due to gravity. The buoyancy force (Fb) will accelerate the air in the bubble at a constant rate upward. Since work is equal to force times distance, the amount of work, W, done in moving the air in the bubble from some submerged position, xo, to a position at the surface, xs, will be W=Fb *(xs-xo). The difference in position is just the depth, d, of the bubble relative to the water surface, so W=Fb*d. One can regard this quantity as the potential energy, PE, of the submerged air bubble: PE=Fb*d. If we correctly note that the weight of the air in the bubble is insignificant relative to the weight of the water it displaces, we can say that PE is equal to the weight of the water that is displaced times the depth of the bubble. (The depth of the bubble is the depth relative to the center of the sphere described by the bubble.) This is the energy that will be imparted to the air in the bubble as it rises in the water. Conversely, this is also how much energy it will take to move the bubble from its position at the water surface to a certain depth. Things get really complicated as the bubble emerges from the water, because the buoyancy force reduces from the weight of the displaced water to zero, but this will usually be a very small effect.


Why do air bubbles in water rise to surface?

Consider the total gravitational potential energy of the water/bubble system. Since water is more dense than air, the bubble has less mass than the equivalent volume of water. So, if the bubble could rise a little the increase in potential energy of the air would be more than compensated for by the decrease in potential energy of the water. This (rather simple) argument shows that the total potential energy of the system decreases as a function of the bubble's height, and thus the bubble rises through the water. More generally, it predicts that any object placed into a fluid of greater density should rise.


How can you tell that the kinetic energy is decreasing as the juggler pin rises?

The fact that the juggler's pin rises to a point and then falls back down is an indication that the kinetic energy decreases as the pin rises. At the highest point reached by the pin, its motion stops and it hangs in the air for a short moment, at which time kinetic energy is zero, and potential energy is at its maximum.


What type of potential energy would a hot air balloon have?

A hot air balloon would have gravitational potential energy due to its height above the ground. As the balloon rises, the potential energy increases.


What type of potential energy does a hot air balloon have?

A hot air balloon has potential energy in the form of gravitational potential energy. As the balloon rises in the air, it gains potential energy due to its increased height above the ground. This energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the balloon descends back to the ground.


A helium filled airship rises to 10000 ft and attaining considerable potential energy with no fuel or engines so where did the energy come from?

The air around the airship has gravitational potential energy as well. When the airship rises, this air is able to go down to occupy the space the airship formally took up.


When a ball is thrown into the air the potential energy gained must come from its kinetic energy. As the ball gains potential energy its speed will?

What type of energy rises from an objects position?

Potential energy arises from an object's position. This type of energy is associated with the object's stored energy based on its position or configuration in a system. It is energy that has the potential to do work based on the object's position relative to other objects.
