The sum of potential and kinetic energy gives you the Mechanical Energy of the system
you have to give it potential energy before it is kinetic
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.
Not all potential energy is converted to kinetic energy in a roller coaster because some of the potential energy is lost due to friction, air resistance, and other forms of energy dissipation. This loss of energy results in not all of the potential energy being transformed into kinetic energy.
Typically higher. Consider a gas. The air you breath is made up of billions of particles flying around all over the place. When the air is warm, these particles move faster than if the air was cold. In that sense, temperature is higher if kinetic energy is great.
yes
you have to give it potential energy before it is kinetic
A piano begins with potential energy & converts into kinetic energy!
As an object gains kinetic energy (due to its motion), its potential energy decreases because some of the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. For example, when a ball is thrown upwards, it gains kinetic energy as it moves up (due to its motion) while its potential energy decreases as it moves away from the ground (due to the decrease in height).
It is kinetic energy of individual moving particles. It could be considered potential though, as in: the body with higher temperature has a potential to do work, passing its thermal energy to lower temperature body.AnswerNeither, 'heat' is simply the name we give to energy in transit from a higher temperature to a lower temperature.

If the object is placed at height, it has potential energy and when this object falls down, this potential energy is converted to kinetic (kinesis means movement) energy. If we have to lift object at height , we have to spend energy, witch is released during fall of the object. Example is when water comes down in hydroelectric power station potential energy is converted into kinetic energy. Witch is used to rotate wheel, creating electricity.
When you stretch a rubber band, you give it potential energy by storing mechanical energy in its stretched structure. This potential energy is then released as kinetic energy when the rubber band is released and snaps back to its original shape.
potential energy due to the stored tension in the rubber bands. When released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy to launch the projectile forward.
potential energy, as the rubber band stores energy in the form of potential elastic deformation. Once released, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, propelling the projectile forward.
I would actually describe the energy as chemical, as the energy is being used to hold the chemical bonds of the hydrocarbons together. But it is certainly not kinetic, so give these two choices the answer is potential. It is potential energy waiting for a chemical reaction.

When you bend the bow, you are imparting kinetic energy from your pull into the bow as potential energy. When you release the string, you are imparting that potential energy into the arrow through the string.
