When the bob of the pendulum while moving stops at one, its Kinetic energy changes completely into potential energy and when it starts its motion again, the potential energy changes to the kinetic energy

∙ 9y agoA pendulum is designed to transfer potential gravitational energy into motion. That is why a group of pendulums hitting each other as they swing, makes the next pendulum swing.

Which amount of potential and kinetic energy changes but the total amount of mechanical energy stays the same?
Kinetic energy is the energy a body has because of its mass in motion. and Potential energy is the energy a body has because of its position in a gravitational field (- the energy trying to pull it down). These are two different types of energy but the energy is interchangeable. For instance:- If you hold a cube of steel 3 feet in the air, it's total energy is its gravitational potential (potential energy). When you release the cube, this potential energy is converted into movement (kinetic energy). When it hits the ground it will stop but the kinetic energy will have been dissipated in the form of other energies or mechanical work - sound, some heating of the ground and the object and perhaps a small dent. Now the object is 3 ft closer to the center of the gravity field and has less potential energy than before (but still has some, it wants to fall further) Thus the total energy equation is:- Energy at the start (all potential) = Residual potential energy + kinetic energy of falling (which is = to dissipated energy -sound, heat and dent)
Why do plants use cotransporters instead of ion channels to transfer anions into cells?
because contransporters can transfer anions against the membrane potential gradient where as ion channels can only transfer from high consentrations to low consentrations
What are design aspects of shake flask fermentation?
Shake flasks, such as the Erlenmeyer flask, are designed to prevent splashing. They promote oxygen transfer and prevent vibration, allowing for successful fermentation.
How is kinetic energy turned into potential?
One is a weight on an elastic string, bobbing up and down. Each down/up involves potential-kinetic-elastic-kinetic-potential conversions. A transfer would also include placing a heavy weight on a spring-loaded platform. The reduced gravitational potential of the weight is stored as compression energy in the spring, which will rebound if the weight is removed.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of multiple ovulation and embryo transfer?
adavntages of embryo transfer
A pendulum is designed to transfer potiential gravitational energy into?
A pendulum transfers potential gravitational energy (at the top of its swing) to kinetic energy (movement at the bottom of the swing) and then back again (at the top on the other side).
What energy does pendulum transfer?
It converts gravitational potential energy (GPE) at the height of the swing to kinetic energy. This is then converted back to GPE. The process continues.
Work is transfer of?
mechanical energy, that is, kinetic and gravitational potential energy.
Why does not all gravitational potential energy transfer to kinetic energy as the mass falls?
i dont knwo
How do you tell if an energy transfer is kinetic or potential?
If a body is slowing down, the transfer is potential energy. I a body is speeding up, the transfer is kinetic energy.
How can a gravitational energy converted to gravitational energy?
Gravitational energy already IS gravitational energy; what exactly do you want to convert? With a see-saw, or a similar lever, or a system of ropes, you can transfer gravitational energy from one object to another.
What is the energy transfer in tidal power- E.g. Kinetic to Gravitational?
Kinetic to Electrical
Is it true heat is the transfer of potential energy?
yes
What energy does a battery transfer?
Chemical Potential energy
Why do roller coasters end lower than where they start?
Since the top of the first hill is the highest point on the track, it's also the point at which the roller coaster's gravitational potential energy is greatest. As the roller coaster passes over the top of the first hill, its total energy is greatest. Most of that total energy is gravitational potential energy but a small amount is kinetic energy, the energy of motion. From that point on, the roller coaster does two things with its energy. First, it begins to transform that energy from one form to another--from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and from kinetic energy to gravitational potential energy, back and forth. Second, it begins to transfer some of its energy to its environment, mostly in the form of heat and sound. Each time the roller coaster goes downhill, its gravitational potential energy decreases and its kinetic energy increases. Each time the roller coaster goes uphill, its kinetic energy decreases and its gravitational potential energy increases. But each transfer of energy isn't complete because some of the energy is lost to heat and sound. Because of this lost energy, the roller coaster can't return to its original height after coasting downhill. That's why each successive hill must be lower than the previous hill. Eventually the roller coaster has lost so much of its original total energy that the ride must end. With so little total energy left, the roller coaster can't have much gravitational potential energy and must be much lower than the top of the first hill.
Is heat the transfer of potential energy?
No. Heat is thermal energy
Stored energy is known as?
I don't believe there is a special word for stored energy, I would just call it that, "stored energy". Energy of position is called potential energy. For example, if you lift a weight against the force of gravitation, the energy you transfer to the object is stored as gravitational potential energy. At a higher position, it has more of this energy than when it is at a low position.
