How do you tell if an energy transfer is kinetic or potential?
An energy transfer is kinetic if it involves movement of an object, like an object speeding up or slowing down. It is potential if it involves stored energy that can be released later, like an object held at a height that can fall due to gravity.
What forces act against momentum?
I don't see how anything can "act against momentum"; momentum is always conserved. If there is friction, the movement of the object will be slowed down; but in this case, momentum is transferred to the air, or whatever is slowing down the object in question. Total momentum will be conserved.
Is tidal friction slowing down earth?
Yes, tidal friction is causing Earth's rotation to gradually slow down over thousands of years. This is due to the gravitational forces between Earth and the Moon, which create tidal bulges on Earth's surface that slightly offset its rotational momentum.
How does adding or removing energy affect the movement of atoms and molecules?
Adding energy increases the movement of atoms and molecules as they gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. Removing energy has the opposite effect, slowing down the movement of atoms and molecules as they lose kinetic energy and move more slowly.
What will happen if the earth changes rotation and revolution?
It would depend on the degree and time frame of change and how that change was brought about. The rotation of the earth is very slowly changing. It is slowing down.
Does an objects momentum changes when it slows down?
Yes, an object's momentum changes when it slows down. Momentum is calculated as the product of an object's mass and velocity, so any change in velocity, such as slowing down, will result in a change in momentum.
How do you decrease the momentum of an asteroid?
You can reduce its momentum by slowing it down. Fragmenting it - by blowing it up will not reduce the total momentum. However, the effect of each individual piece will be reduced.
Is the slowing of a skydiver after the parachute opens an example of inertia?
Yes, the slowing of a skydiver after the parachute opens is an example of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. When the parachute deploys, it creates drag that opposes the skydiver's downward motion, causing a rapid deceleration. The skydiver’s mass and the initial downward momentum illustrate inertia, as the parachute must exert a force to overcome this momentum.
What happens to kinetic energy when a ball climbs higher and slows down?
Since the ball is slowing down, the kinetic energy is decreasing.
What does the kinetic energy vs time graph reveal about the motion of an object?
The kinetic energy vs time graph shows how the kinetic energy of an object changes over time. It can reveal information about the object's speed, acceleration, and direction of motion. The shape and slope of the graph can indicate if the object is speeding up, slowing down, or maintaining a constant speed.
Why is Momentum is conserved yet objects slow down after collision this is because of?
Momentum is conserved in a closed system, meaning the total momentum before and after a collision remains the same. In a collision, momentum is transferred between objects, causing their individual velocities to change. While the total momentum remains constant, the distribution of momentum among the objects may change, resulting in some objects slowing down after a collision.
How an car related to physics?
Kinetic energy- capable of movement. Inertia, when moving, and friction-brakes when slowing down.
What is Acceleartion?
acceleration is changes in speed slowing down and speeding up.
How do you tell if an energy transfer is kinetic or potential?
An energy transfer is kinetic if it involves movement of an object, like an object speeding up or slowing down. It is potential if it involves stored energy that can be released later, like an object held at a height that can fall due to gravity.

What type of radiation is produced by the sudden slowing and direction change of the electron stream as kinetic energy?
Bremsstrahlung (Braking) radiation
What quality of a bowling ball enables it to plow through a set of pins without slowing down significantly.?
momentum - its mass times velocity
