The potential energy is progressively changed to kinetic energy as the orange falls. When it hits the ground most of it is converted to heat.

Which describes the energy conversions used to make a car down the street?

Assuming it just rolls down a slope, without the engines working: gravitational potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy will eventually be converted to heat energy.


Why does a ball tavel faster down a steep ramp than it does down a less steep ramp?

To start, the ball has potential energy. When you put it on a ramp (any size) its potential energy is turned into kinetic energy. When you put it on a higher ramp, there is more potential energy, because the ball is higher up. Think about going to the top of a tall building. You start at the lobby, and let's say you take the elevator to the penthouse. You may notice feeling heavier. The same thing happens to the ball, and that's why balls on higher ramps go farther.

A ball is rolled uphill a distance of 3 meters before it slows stops and begins to roll back the ball rolls downhill 6 meters before coming to a rest against a tree what is the magnitude of the balls?

The magnitude of the balls displacement is 9 meters.


Will a person fall out of an upside down airplane seat if not strapped in?

It depends on the aircraft, the speed and the maneuver that the plane is doing. If they are doing loops or rolls, no, centrifugal force will hold them in place. If the plane is 'flying' upside down, a maneuver that is possible in some aircraft, yes, gravity will cause them to fall.

What kind of energy is stored in the rubber band on the rolling toy?

That is potential energy, converted to kinetic energy when the toy rolls.


As an object moves downhill some of the energy is?

Before it rolls downhill, it has gravitational potential energy. As it rolls downhill, part of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (including rotational energy); due to friction, this will soon be converted into waste energy, mainly heat.


When a ball rolls down the hill what energy occurs?

The situation is similar as when an object falls. Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (including rotational energy in this case); part of that kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.

What energy has by a truck increasing speed downhill?

Whenever anything falls down, rolls downward, etc., gravitational potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.


What is true about the total energy of a ball as it rolls down a hillside?

It is conserved. The potential energy of the ball sitting at the top of the hill is converted into kinetic energy of the rolling ball.


How can energy be conserved as a skater rolls down a ramp?

When rolling down, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. If there is no friction, this means the skater moves faster and faster. If there is energy (the usual situation), part of this movement energy (kinetic energy) will be converted into heat.

What happens to the potential energy and the energy of a ball as it rolls down a hill from a position of rest at the top of the hill?

The potential energy gets less until the ball gets to the bottom of the hill, at which point the potential energy is zero. The potential energy that is lost, gets converted to Kinetic energy of the ball that goes faster and faster as it gets more and more of the Potential energy.


Which of the following situations describes an object's kinetic energy being converted into gravitational potential energy?
