Does an object with potential energy have inertia?

Yes, an object with potential energy still has inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion, and this property is not affected by the presence of potential energy in the object.


Is wind up for the pitch kinetic energy or potential energy?

Answer 1Kinetic. Remember, kinetic energy is the energy of movement.Answer 2If one considers winding up for the pitch as analogous to winding up the spring on a crossbow, then you are converting kinetic energy (the motion produced by your arms) to potential "elastic" energy. Releasing the catch on the bow then converts the stored potential energy to the kinetic energy of the bolt as it flies away.Of course people are not crossbows, and the interplay of forces and motions is a bit more complex.Added:Answer two's analogy is flawed as the potential energy on the cross bow winding is not potential until the mechanism is stopped and locked. Until that point the energy is kinetic to potential. A pitcher winding up does not store potential energy as a locked in place cross bow bolt does.Added 2:Hence my statement that winding up a crossbow is *converting* kinetic energy to potential, while releasing the crossbow *converts* potential to kinetic energy.But as already noted, comparing winding up for a pitch to winding up a crossbow is probably not very accurate anyway.When a pitcher winds himself up for a pitch, he positions himself in such a way as to be able to convert the maximum amount of *chemical* energy into kinetic energy. At least, that's how I see it.


What two molecules contain the least amount of energy?

The two molecules that typically contain the least amount of energy are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O). These molecules are stable and have low potential energy compared to other organic molecules like glucose or fatty acids, which store more energy in their chemical bonds. Their formation from higher-energy reactants, such as carbohydrates or fats, is often a result of exothermic reactions, releasing energy in the process.


Why does the outer most electron contain the highest energy?

Due to the fact that it's the farthest away, it has the largest (albeit absolutely tiny) distance to fall to the nucleus, making it have the most potential energy. Similar to rolling a ball off a chair or rolling it off a roof. The farther away, the more potential energy.

The potential energy of a pendulum is least?

At the highest point of its swing where its kinetic energy is least and potential energy is maximum.


Where on the rollercoaster is the least amount of potential energy?

The least amount of potential energy on a rollercoaster is usually at the bottom of a loop or at the end of a steep descent. This is because potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the cars speed up due to gravity pulling them downward.


Which letter represents the position at which the basketball has the least potential energy explain?

The letter at the bottom of the arc represents the position at which the basketball has the least potential energy. This is because potential energy is lowest at the lowest point of the arc due to the effect of gravity pulling the basketball down.


How is potential and kenetic energy different?

Potential energy is the energy in which you have when you are standing or sitting still. Though doesn't have to be completely still, to be at least still and trying not to move, a majority of your energy is Potential. Kinetic energy is the energy of any and all living things. So, if you are moving, you have a majority of Kinetic energy. If you are being still, then you have Potential energy.


If a ball is thrown up into the air at what point does it have the least potential energy?

When it is lowest - that's when you just threw it, or when it falls back to the ground.


When does the pendulum have the largest amount of gravitational potential energy?

When it stops: at the top of its swing.Related Information:You know this because it has the least kinetic energy at this point, but the kinetic and potential energies have to add up.


where on the swing is the kinetic energy the greatest and the potential energy the least?

In between the ground and the bar that holds the swing up so the middle


When you throw a ball in the air when does it have the least amount of gravitational potential energy?

Whenever it is at its lowest position.


Does gasoline have kinetic or potential energy?

Both. Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy per particle and everything has at least some. Its potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds (and its nucleus) within each molecule (and atom).


Consider al bouncing ball were would the ball have least gravitationl energy?

gravitational energy is the same as potential and kinetic energy. When the ball is further from the surface of the earth it will have the most potential energy and when the ball gets closer to the surface of the earth that potential energy turns into kinetic energy because it is being used to move the ball towards the surface.


Where does a roller coaster have the least kinetic energy?

At the tallest point on the track. Potential energy is given by U(Which is potential energy) = mass times height time gravitational constant. You can't change the gravitational constant, or the mass of the roller coaster car. So you have to change the height. PE=mgh so more the height and the mass the more PE


Can a tornado be gone if it hits a big building?

No it can not because bits going to most likely going to tear up the building. Even if the building is not significant damage, the tornado itself is very large by comparison, extending at least a mile upwards.
