What else can I help you with?
How do you find the amount of mechanical energy lost when colliding with a floor?
To find the amount of mechanical energy lost when colliding with a floor, you can calculate the difference in kinetic energy before and after the collision. Subtract the final kinetic energy (which would be zero if the object comes to a stop) from the initial kinetic energy to determine the mechanical energy lost during the collision.
When friction slows an object down where does the lost kinetic energy go?
The lost kinetic energy typically gets converted into heat due to friction. This occurs when the object's movement causes friction between its surface and the surface it's moving on, resulting in the transformation of kinetic energy into thermal energy.
How does kinetic energy and potential energy switch?
work=change in kinetic energy, doing work on an object by moving it up increases that object's potential energy because it has the POTENTIAL to fall due to gravity. kinetic energy is lost in the movement of the object. However, throughout an entire closed system, the total energy in joules (or kinetic enery plus potential energy) does remain constant. this is useful because the initial energy and the final energy most be equal, and if thats true, then initial kinetic energy plus initial potential energy must equal final kinetic energy plus final potential energy. does that help?
When an action and reaction occur momentum is usually lost?
No. Total momentum before and after the collision is the same. Some kinetic energy can be lost - but not momentum.
Potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is energy that is moving or in motion. Potential energy is energy that is still but has potential to move. Both energy's can switch back and forth from each other. Energy is never lost, it just changes forms. Hope this helps!
Why velocity of a mass attached to a spring is maximum at mean positions and zero at extreme positions?
This can easily be understood with conservation of energy. Assuming that no energy is lost, potential energy is continuously converted to kinetic energy, and vice versa. At the mean position, the potential energy is zero, therefore the kinetic energy (and hence the velocity) is at maximum.This can easily be understood with conservation of energy.

In what ways can kinetic energy be lost?
Kinetic energy can be lost through friction, air resistance, and collisions with other objects.
Why is kinetic energy lost in an inelastic collision?
Kinetic energy is lost in an inelastic collision because some of the initial kinetic energy is transformed into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, during the collision. This results in a decrease in the total kinetic energy of the system after the collision.
What will be the kinetic energy of an arrow having a potential energy of 50J after its shot from a bow?
Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.Assuming no energy is lost, the 70 J of potential energy will be converted into 70 J of kinetic energy.
What is the difference between an inelastic collision and an elastic collision?
In an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved and some energy is lost as heat or sound. In an elastic collision, kinetic energy is conserved and no energy is lost.
When potential energy is converted to kinetic energy can it be reversible?
Kinetic energy can be reconverted into potantial energy, but not with 100% efficiency. Some energe is lost in the process.
Friction converts kinetic energy to?
Friction converts kinetic energy to thermal energy, causing the surfaces in contact to heat up. The energy lost to friction results in a decrease in the overall kinetic energy of the system.
When a moving object hits another can energy be lost?
No energy is lost in such a collision, although kinetic energy is converted into thermal and possibly into potential energy.
What is the advantage and disadvantage of kinetic energy?
The advantages of kinetic energy is its abundant energy source and it can be created easily. However, its chief disadvantage is its difficulty to be controlled making it an unpredictable energy.
How do you find the amount of mechanical energy lost when colliding with a floor?
To find the amount of mechanical energy lost when colliding with a floor, you can calculate the difference in kinetic energy before and after the collision. Subtract the final kinetic energy (which would be zero if the object comes to a stop) from the initial kinetic energy to determine the mechanical energy lost during the collision.
Can heat be completely transformed to kinetic energy?
No heat can not be transformed to kinetic energy.
What is kinetic to kinetic energy?
same if none has been lost. ke=0.5Xmv(squared) GPE=massxgravityxheight
