When potential energy and kinetic energy are added it creates total energy or Quaternion energy. Energy comes in two forms potential or real energy and vector or "kinetic " energy. Kinetic energy is rightfully vector energy and usually involves motion or velocity. However, torque 'fxr' is vector energy not considered as kinetic energy.

The bottom line is, there is real energy like real numbers called potential energy and there is vector energy like kinetic energy mcV, (momentum related energy).

Gravitational energy is an example E= -GmM/r + mcV = -mu/r + mcV

Newton ignored the kinetic energy of mcV in his gravitational theory. Quaternions are yet to be recognized in science and mathematics as the true numbers of Nature.

What happens to the amount of kinetic energy when heat is added to a pure phase of matter?

When heat is added to a pure phase of matter, the kinetic energy of the particles in that phase increases. This increase in kinetic energy causes the particles to move faster and the temperature of the phase to rise.


How is a heating curve used to relate to phase changes and temperature and kinetic energy?

A heating curve shows the relationship between temperature and heat added to a substance. During phase changes, the temperature remains constant as the added heat is used to break intermolecular forces. Kinetic energy increases with temperature, so during phase changes, the added heat is used to increase potential energy (for breaking intermolecular forces) rather than increasing kinetic energy (temperature).


During a change in state energy is transferred in the form of?

Usually in the form of increased or decreased kinetic energy of the molecules and added or reduced inter-molecular potential energy. Which way it goes depends on the direction of change in state.


What happens to thermal energy when temperatures increase?

When the temperature of a material increase, thermal energy is added to the material. It also increases the kinetic and potential energy of the particles. When the temperature reach the boiling or melting point, the kinetic energy stays the same, but the thermal energy and the potential energy still keeps adding and increasing. And when ONLY the potential energy increase, the state of the material changes from one to another.


How does mechanical energy help you in your daily life?

machanist is a medium for energy. That energy from fossil fuels. The sun. Wind. water. and... consequencing has come with different means to turn into mechanical energy. And this mechanical energy in a process turned again to prove or electrical energy or movement.Answer: Improve Here are the different types of mechanical energy: 1) Kinetic energy - the energy associated with moving along a path ("kinetic energy of translation") or spinning ("kinetic energy of rotation") 2) Gravitational potential energy - energy that is stored or released as an object moves up or down in a gravitational field 3) Elastic potential energy - energy that is stored or released as an elastic object (like a spring or a rubber band) is deformed or relaxes --------------------------------------… An example: Imagine you see an uninflated red balloon sitting on the ground. It's not moving, so it has no kinetic energy. It's not inflated, so the rubber isn't stretched at all -- no potential energy has been stored in stretching the rubber. And it's sitting at ground level, so it's gravitational potential energy is zero as well. You are looking at a red balloon with no mechanical energy (remember the mechanical energy is the kinetic and potential energies all added together). You're feeling winsome today, so you pick up the balloon and blow it up and hold the opening pinched between your fingers. Is its mechanical energy still zero? Well, the kinetic energy is still zero, it's sitting right there in your hand. How about potential energy? Aha, you have stretched the rubber and stored up energy that way. Yes, and you also picked it up off the ground and moved it higher -- it now has some gravitational potential energy, too. Now you let the balloon go, and it flies up and away from you. Now, finally, there is some kinetic energy. There's a little more gravitational potential energy than before you let it go (because it is flying higher). And what about the elastic potential energy? It's getting smaller because the balloon is shrinking (becoming less stretched), and that potential energy is being transformed into the kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the now-moving balloon. When the balloon is completely deflated, its elastic potential energy will be zero, its gravitational potential energy will peak, and then begin to decrease. Its kinetic energy will increase proportionally as it falls (ignoring air resistance). Just before the balloon reaches the ground, its gravitational potential energy will be zero, and all its energy will be kinetic. After it hits the ground, the sum of its kinetic and potential energies, i.e. its mechanical energy, will again be zero. -------------------- Another example Mechanical energy (more specifically, electrical energy) can be explained by the ever growing sector of hybrid cars that use the energy generated by a typically underpowered engine coupled with a small electric engine. The development of brake energy regeneration, is what recharges the large battery that supplements the gas engine. During braking, the system will store energy in the battery, containing it as potential energy until is it required to power the vehicle, using it as kinetic energy! The principle of potential and kinetic energy is so broad, hundreds, maybe thousands, of examples can be fitted to the idea.

Is a baseball rolling on the ground kinetic or potential energy?

Assuming its not slipping, its kinetic, though its in two parts (to be added together): 1 . KE due to mass alone = 0.5 * mass * v2 2 . KE due to rotation = 0.5 * I * ((radians / second)2), where I is the baseballs mass moment of inertia.


Why the temperature did not change although heat was added to it when the potential energy of the molecules increases?

Precisely because the heat energy that was added was used up elsewhere. Temperature is a kind of kinetic energy; a change of phase (like, from solid to liquid) is a kind of potential energy.Precisely because the heat energy that was added was used up elsewhere.

When you lift an object energy is transferred to an object which gives the object?

When you lift an object, you are transferring energy in the form of work done against gravity. This added energy gives the object potential energy, which is stored energy due to its position relative to the earth's surface.


What is true about energy that is added to a closed system?

In a closed system, the total energy remains constant. When energy is added to a closed system, it can change form (e.g. from potential to kinetic energy) but the total amount of energy in the system remains the same.


What happens to kinetic energy as heat is added?

As heat is added to a system, the kinetic energy of its particles increases. This increase in kinetic energy causes the particles to move faster and collide more frequently, leading to an increase in temperature. The heat energy absorbed by the system is converted into kinetic energy of the particles.


What three types of energy from a roller coaster are added together to equal the total amount of original potential energy?

These would be the Linear Kinetic Energy due to the forward velocity of the car; The Rotational Kinetic Energy of the rotating wheels and the Thermal or Heat Energy due to the various frictional forces on the car.


Why is the height and the shape of the first hill on a roller coaster important?

It establishes the initial potential energy that gets converted to kinetic energy for the rest of the ride. Once the car summits that first hill, it doesn't get any more energy added to it - the energy just gets converted back and forth between kinetic energy and potential energy for the rest of the ride, while gradually being dissipated by friction.
