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.

Yes, energy can exist as both potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy that results from an object's position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion. As an object moves, potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy, and vice versa, following the law of conservation of energy.
Blowing wind has kinetic energy. This can be transformed into electrical energy using a turbine to transform the wind into rotational kinetic energy and a generator or alternator to convert the rotational kinetic energy to electrical energy. Water above a dam has potential energy from gravity and also from the weight of the water around it. Once it is moving or flowing down through the pipes it then has kinetic energy.
Potential energy is energy stored in an object due to its position or state, such as gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. In a Venn diagram, potential energy would be shown in one circle, kinetic energy in another, with the overlapping area representing objects that have both potential and kinetic energy simultaneously.
A corkscrew on a roller coaster would have kinetic energy as it moves through the track, turning potential energy (stored energy due to its height) into kinetic energy (energy of motion).
Potential and kinetic energy are related in that they are both forms of energy that an object can possess. Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion. When potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, the object is in motion. This relationship between potential and kinetic energy demonstrates the transfer and transformation of energy within a system.
Yes, a system can have both kinetic and potential energy simultaneously. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy.
Yes, mechanical energy refers to the energy possessed by an object due to its position (potential energy) or motion (kinetic energy). It is the sum of an object's potential and kinetic energy.
True
Mechanical energy is a type of energy that is both kinetic (energy of motion) and potential (stored energy). It includes the sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy as it moves or is positioned in a force field.
A swinging pendulum has both potential energy at its highest point and kinetic energy at its lowest point as it moves.

When an apple falls to the ground, the apple's beginning kinetic energy and ending gravitational potential energy are both equal to each other. This transfer of energy occurs due to the conservation of energy principle, where the potential energy of the apple at the top of the fall is converted into kinetic energy as it falls to the ground.
The combined energy of kinetic and potential energy is called mechanical energy. This is the total energy of an object due to both its motion (kinetic energy) and its position (potential energy).
A leaping frog is an example of kinetic energy. Before the jump, the frog contains potential energy. When it jumps, the potential energy converts to energy of motion, otherwise known as kinetic energy.
In a closed circuit system, electrical energy is both potential and kinetic.
An objects total kinetic and potential energy is when both things are moving (kinetic) and the energy is stored in the object (potential)
