What is the similarities between kinetic energy and potential energy?
kinetic energy depends on speed an potential energy depends on height and mass
Similarities between Kinetic energy potential energy electric energy and gravitational energy?
they are both measured in joules
A person jumping off niagara falls energy turns into what?
Potential energy turns into kinetic energy.
What are the similarities between kinetic energy and potential energy?
Kinetic energy and potential energy are both forms of mechanical energy. They are both scalar quantities, meaning they have magnitude but no direction. Additionally, they are both measured in the same units of energy, such as joules in the International System of Units (SI). Both kinetic and potential energy play a crucial role in the conservation of energy principle, where energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
The potential energy of a satellite in an elliptical orbit is?
The total energy of a satellite doesn't change. At its closest approach to the planet, it has the most kinetic energy and the least potential, whereas at its furthest retreat from the planet, it has the least kinetic energy and the most potential. But their sum ... the satellite's total mechanical energy ... is always the same. (It may gain heat energy when the sun is shining directly on it, and lose it when it's in the planet's cold shadow, but neither of those changes affects its orbit.)
Is gravity kinetic energy?
There is no "gravity kinetic energy". There is gravitational energy (a type of potential energy), and - separately - there is kinetic energy (the energy of movement).
What is works against gravity a potential or kinetic?
Potential energy.
When a ball rolls down a hill what energy conversation occurs?
gravity
Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)
Is gravity potential or kinetic?
Gravity is a force more so than an energy
How is a river potential energy changed into kinetic energy?
As gravity pulls water down a slope, the water's potential energy changes to kinetic energy that can do work.
Gravity your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and it when you are driving downhill?
When driving uphill, gravity acts against your kinetic energy, requiring more energy to maintain speed. When driving downhill, gravity aids your kinetic energy, allowing you to maintain or increase speed more easily. In both cases, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the vehicle moves.
What will happen to the potential and kinetic energy as the ball falls?
As the ball falls, its potential energy will decrease while its kinetic energy will increase. This is because potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the ball falls due to the force of gravity acting on it.
As an object falls the gravitational potential energy of the object is converted to what?
As an object falls, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. This occurs as the object accelerates due to gravity, increasing its speed and kinetic energy.
What happens to the potential energy of water as gravity pulls the water downhill?
As water is pulled downhill by gravity, its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the water gains speed and momentum while flowing downhill.
How does the force of gravity affect the energy of an object in motion?
The force of gravity affects the energy of an object in motion by either increasing or decreasing its potential and kinetic energy. Gravity can either pull the object down, increasing its kinetic energy, or lift it up, increasing its potential energy.
What are scientific principles for catapults?
a couple of them are kinetic & potential energy and gravity!
