How does a roller coaster convert potential energy to kinetic energy and then back to potential energy again and again?
So the potential energy is the energy in the car at the top of the first slope. It changes into kinetic energy (Speed with mass) as it rolls down the hill. Then the electric motor winds it back up the hill, putting potential energy in the system again.
What is the difference between Gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy?
POTENTIAL ENERGY is energy when something has energy but is currently stored and not being used. Example: Batteries have electrical energy stored in them but is not used until put inside of a camera, controller, remote, and etc. KINETIC ENERGY is energy when something is being moved, thrown, rolled, or spun by force. Example: When a football is thrown from the Quarterback to the Receiver, the ball is thrown using KINETIC ENERGY.
Why is ATP an example of chemical potential energy?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is an example of chemical potential energy because it stores energy in its phosphate bonds. When these bonds are broken during cellular processes, such as metabolism, the stored energy is released and used by the cell to fuel various activities.
How is energy converted from potential energy to kinetic?
The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy follows "The Law of Conservation of Energy."Energy cannot be created or destroyed. In a closed system it just changes form.The total amount of energy in the universe does not increase nor decrease. It only changes forms.So, if before big bang the universe was pure kinetic, it is now mostly potential. How much further can the energy disperse before gravity pulls it all back together into another big bang? just kidding...
Does a rock have potential and kinetic energy as it hits the ground?
When a ball is about to fall it has potential energy because of its height.When a ball is about to hit the ground it still has some potential energy since it has't hit the ground yet, but much less than it had when it started falling.
How is potential energy is stored?
It really depends on the type of potential energy, but basically, just keeping an object in a high energy position, against some force, will store the potential energy. For example, water has more potential energy when it is in a higher position; typically it would be kept in a high position by a dam, until the energy is needed.
What do the sentence mean an object's total kinetic and potential energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Kinetic energy is stored in an object when you apply force to it, lifting it, for example. That energy stays in the object as potential energy until it is released when you drop the object.
What is the relationship between potential energy and reaction progress?
The relationship between potential energy and reaction progress is that potential energy changes as a reaction progresses. At the beginning of a reaction, potential energy is high as reactants are being converted into products. As the reaction progresses, potential energy decreases until it reaches a minimum at the point of maximum stability, known as the transition state.
Why bodies are said to posses potential energy and transform in to kinetic energy while falling to earthsince the force driving is gravity how do bodies acquire energy?
In order to raise the body to a height from which it can fall, you have to apply upward force to it, opposing the downward force of gravity that most people call the body's "weight", and you have to keep applying that force until the body arrives at the height you want it to be at. All that force, multiplied by all that distance, is equal to a bunch of 'work', which is another word for 'energy'. The energy comes from muscles, or from electric motors, or from airfoils of some kind that remove the energy from wind, the energy gets stuffed into the body, and it resides there in the form of 'gravitational potential energy' until it falls. During the process of fallling, the potential energy that was stuffed into it by lifting it emerges in the form of kinetic energy.
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.
What happens with the potential energy when objects drops?
When an object drops, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground. As the object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases until it reaches the ground, where it has no more potential energy but maximum kinetic energy.
Is energy is capacity to do work?
Energy is the capacity to do work.
What is an example of only potential energy?
A ball sitting at the top of a ledge, it has a lot of potential energy until it is pushed off the ledge then it is converted into kinetic energy
Energy can cause an object to what its position or its motion?
all objects do have energy it is all a question of which type you have potential; energy and kinetic energy potential energy is like stored energy and the object is known to have the potential to do work wher as kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to the motion of the object

So the potential energy is the energy in the car at the top of the first slope. It changes into kinetic energy (Speed with mass) as it rolls down the hill. Then the electric motor winds it back up the hill, putting potential energy in the system again.
Is a gallon of gas potential or kinetic energy?
Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.Chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy.
Where does the kinetic energy come from when you roll down a hill without making any effort?
The kinetic energy you gain when rolling down a hill comes from the potential energy stored in your position at the top of the hill. As you descend, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, increasing your speed. This process follows the law of conservation of energy.
