When you stretch out a spring at what point would you have the greatest potential energy?
A spring has maximum potential energy at maximum displacement from equilibrium. This means that the greatest potential energy will occur when a spring is stretched as far as it will stretch or compressed as tightly as it will compress. In an oscillating system, where an object attached to a spring is moving back and forth at a given frequency, the object will oscillate about the equilibrium point, and the potential energy of the system will be greatest (and equal) when the object is farthest from equilibrium on either side.
What are the two types of potential energy?
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential 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.
What are two forms of potential energy?
In apex, the answers for 2 potential energies, the answers are Elastic, and Magnetic energy.
Are there examples of potential energy?
Gravitational Potential Energy, Elastic Potential Energy, Chemical Potential Energy, Electrical Potential Energy, Nuclear Potential Energy. If you want more info, check out this wikipedia page that I linked.
How does a yo-yo transer potential energy to kinetic energy and back to potential energy as it moves up and down the string?
When the yo-yo is being held in the person's hand, it has maxium potential energy, and zero kinetic energy. When the yo-yo drops on the string from the person's hand, it's velocity increases due to the acceleration due to gravity, increasing kinetic energy and reducing potential energy. When the yo-yo is at its greatest distance from the person's hand, it has maximum kinetic energy, and zero potential energy. When the yo-yo moves back up the string, its kinetic energy decreases and its potential energy increases. Once the yo-yo is back in the person's hand, it again has maximum potential energy, and zero kinetic energy.
How does a yo yo transfer potential energy to kinetic energy and back again as it moves up and down its string?
Before a yo yo is released, it has maximum potential energy and zero kinetic energy. As the yo yo goes down the string, its kinetic energy increases and it potential energy decreases. When the yo yo reaches the bottom of the string it has maximum kinetic energy and zero potential energy. As the yo yo goes back up the string, its kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases until the yo yo reaches the top of the string, at which point kinetic energy is zero and potential energy is at its maximum.
How does a yo-yo have kinetic energy?
yes if it is in motion. If its not it has potential energy.
Energy transformation when dropping a yoyo?
Potential - Kinetic - Potiential again as you drop the yo yo, the potential energy it had at its height is converted to kinetic energy. as it starts to come back up, it is converted back to potential energy
Where will you locate on a pendulum or roller coaster the greatest potential and greatest kinetic energy?
On a pendulum, the greatest potential energy is at the highest point of the swing on either side, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the swing. On a roller coaster, the greatest potential energy is at the top of a hill, and the greatest kinetic energy is at the bottom of the hill.
Where is the potential energy of the box the greatest on the incline?
the box when it is inclined will have greatest potential energy on the top corners only.
How does a yo yo transfer both potential and kinetic energy?
The yoyo is a good example of how potential and kinetic energy can oscillate. When fully up and stationary it has zero kinetic and only potential, when it is fully down and rotating at max speed this energy has been converted to kinetic, then it climbs up again, and so on. The player has to keep providing a small input of energy to overcome friction losses.
Type of energy that is greatest at the bottom of a swings's path?
Kinetic Energy, the potential energy is greatest at the top of the swing's path! :)
When does a falling object have the greatest energy?
A falling object has the greatest potential energy when it is highest, at the beginning of the fall. It has the greatest kinetic energy when it is at its lowest, at the end of the fall. Without taking friction or air resistance into account, the beginning potential energy is the same as the final kinetic energy. If friction is considered, the beginning potential energy is greater.
At figure 6-1 witch car has the greatest potential energy?
The car that is highest has the most potential energy.
Where in the body is the greatest storage of potential energy?
muscles
What state of matter has the greatest amount of potential energy?
gas
