Yes they can, in a solution of a single type of atoms, at absolute zero; This is the point at which something physically has zero energy (none in the molecules whatsoever), and there would be no potential energy in the bonds between molecules

Is total energy of revolving electron in an atom zero?

actually total energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy....potential energy= -2*kinetic energy . By using this relation you will get that sum of potential and kinetic energy is equal to the magnitude of kinetic energy and it is less than zero...hope this will be enough for you....


Which has less kinetic energy warmer particles or cooler particles?

Cooler particles have less kinetic energy.


What is the final velocity of an object that decreases in kinetic energy and increases in potential energy?

The final velocity of the object would be less than its initial velocity, as some of the kinetic energy has been converted to potential energy. The exact final velocity would depend on the specific amounts of energy involved and the characteristics of the system.


Why do planets or comets move faser when theyare closer to the sun?

This can be explained in several ways; here is one way. This follows directly from conservation of energy. Closer to the Sun they have less potential energy, so it is logical that they should have more kinetic energy. The sum of kinetic and potential energy remains constant (assuming no energy gets dissipated).


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.

Why is kinetic energy always less than gravitational potential energy?

Kinetic energy is always less than gravitational potential energy because an object's kinetic energy is dependent on its velocity, while its gravitational potential energy is determined by its height above the ground. In most scenarios, the object is higher (has more potential energy) before it falls and accelerates, so the gravitational potential energy it loses is converted to kinetic energy, but it is never greater than its original potential energy.


Why is potential energy greater than kinetic energy?

Potential energy is greater than kinetic energy when an object is at rest or at a high point. When potential energy is at its maximum, kinetic energy is at its minimum because the object is not in motion. As the object falls, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


Does something have grater speed when it has more potential energy or less?

It can be a little complicated but I'll do my best to explain.Quick Vocab: potential energy - the stored energy in an object because of its position, shape, or condition. Kinetic energy - the energy of an object due to its motion. The more potential energy an object has the more Kinetic energy it will have. Basically when the object is moved the potential energy is released and becomes kinetic energy. As the kinetic energy (speed) increases the Potential energy decreases.So yes, when the potential energy decreases the speed increases.

Why would the final kinetic energy before impact be less the initial potential energy of an object dropped from a kilometer height?

The initial potential energy of an object dropped from a kilometer height is converted into both kinetic and potential energy as it falls. However, due to factors such as air resistance and sound produced during the fall, some of this energy is lost to the surroundings, resulting in a decrease in the final kinetic energy before impact compared to the initial potential energy.


What happens to the potential energy and kinetic 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.

Is running an kinetic or potential energy?

The potential energy of the mass of the sky diver is transformed into kinetic energy during the free fall. The kinetic energy of the free fall is transformed into kinetic energy and heat of the air when the parachute is deployed.


How can potential energy be increased and decreased?

Potential energy is pretty much the potential for kinetic energy. The less kinetic energy there is, the more potential... On the other hand, if you need gravitational potential energy, then the higher the object is placed above the ground, the more GPE it has.


What are the effects of potential energy and kinetic energy to 3 states of matter?

Kinetic energy effects changes of state because it is when energy that has been held up inside the object (aka potential energy), is finally released. For example: On a roller coaster, the cart goes up a hill. At the top of the hill, right before it is about to go down another hill, it has potential energy, or stored up energy. Then whe it is going down the hill, all the energy is released and now the energy is in the form of kinetic. Another example: A marble is attached onto the end of a string. You pull the marble back. While being held back, the marble has potential energy. When you let the marble go, that energy turns into potential energy, because it is in motion. Defintions: Potential energy: Energy that is stored up Kinetic energy: Energy in motion


What happens to the potential energy of the water in a river as gravity pulls the water downhill?

Since potential energy is proportional to elevation, the potential energy of water gets less and less as it goes downhill.Its kinetic energy (based on velocity) may well increase, but the question asked about potential energy.


Does the faster your car moves the less kinetic energy it has?

no that is not true everybody knows that when something is moving it has k.e , wich means that it has kinetic energy and when is not moving its p.e potential energy so I dont see how acar has the less k.e when its moving the answers is it has the less p.e
