Where on a roller coaster does energy transform?
As it starts to climb the lift hill, the electrical energy builds potential energy. On its way down the first drop, the cars gain kinetic energy (energy of motion) and lose potential energy (stored energy). When it goes up the next hill, the potential energy increases and kinetic decreases, evident in the cars slowing down. Potential is greatest at the top of the highest hill. Along the way, more energy is lost in friction and sound energy.
When you stop at the top after climbing stairs have you gained kinetic energy?
You would not have gained kinetic energy if you were stopped because kinetic energy is energy of motion. However, there is always more than one way to look at a problem...If you climb to the top step you will be further (slightly) from the center of the earth. Being further away you will travel faster than you would nearer to the center because the earth rotates about its axis. You will travel a longer path during the same period of rotation. This presumes the steps that you are climbing are not located at either the north or south pole.You can look at the answer from a physiological perspective, too. If you just finished climbing the stairs, your heart will be pumping blood faster so, while not all of you is moving faster, at least part of you is.
When does an object have the same potential and kinetic energy?
When it is not moving or think of it like this when you climb a cliff when your on the top you have potential energy but as you climb down you are starting the state of kenetic energy. Therefor potential energy is when you are not moving. Or when energy is stored.
Where does kinetic energy go after it is used?
If you're suggesting something like an auto accident, the energy of the collision is used to deform materials in the structural elements of the vehicle(s). It also heats them. The primary design features of cars includes a lot of thought to where the energy of a collision can go. Bumpers collapse, body panels and their strengthening members fold and become compressed, and a top or roof can collapse down. All this sinks ("sucks up") energy. And if it all works in an optimal way, you can climb out and walk away.
How does air density change throughout the atmosphere?
Air density is higher near the surface of the Earth. As you climb away from the surface, the pressure decreases.
When you climb a rope you change what energy into what energy?
you change potential energy into kinetic energy.
What are the two types of energy you use as you climb a rope?
The two types of energy used as you climb a rope are potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy that comes from being above the ground, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion as you climb up the rope.
What energy does a climber climbing transfer?
A climber transfers potential energy into kinetic energy as they climb. They convert food (chemical energy) into muscle work to overcome gravitational potential energy.
What energy is used as you climb up the slide?
Mechanical energy, because you are moving. Also your potential energy gains, as you go up higher
When you climb up the stairs what is the energy transformation?
chemical energy (stored in the muscles of the body) turns to kinetic energy (climbing up the stairs) and then is transformed to potential energy (once you reach the top of the stairs) due to your position.
What kind of energy is it when you go up a hill?
when you are going up a hill by walking you are converting your potential energy into kinetic energy with every step and also storing more and more potential energy with every step if you stop after every step but if you are walking with a certain velocity you possess kinetic energy . At the top of the hill when you stop you possess maximum potential energy.

What type of energy used to climb up a staircase?
Kinetic energy which is movement energy.
A car coasts up a hill. As it climbs it slows down. Which type of energy is the car losing as it goes up?
The car is losing kinetic energy as it climbs the hill. This kinetic energy is being transferred into potential energy due to the increasing height gained during the climb.
What energy transformations take place when someone climbs up a slide?
When someone climbs up a slide, the conversion of chemical energy from their food into kinetic energy allows them to move and climb. Additionally, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as they gain height and then slide down. Frictional forces also convert some kinetic energy into heat energy during the process.
What is gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field. The higher an object is the greater its gravitational potential. When it falls the gravitational potential becomes kinetic energy. Energy stored in height differences ~APEX
How much energy is needed in Joules for a 90 kg woman was to climb a ladder 6 meters in height?
The energy needed for a woman to climb a ladder is given by the change in potential energy she experiences. Defining the ground as being zero potential energy, her overall change in potential energy isEp = mghwhere Ep is the change potential energy, m is her mass, g is the gravitational acceleration (9.8m/s2 on earth) and h is the height she climbs.Ep = (90kg)(9.8m/s2)(6m) = 5292kg*m2/s2 or 5292 Joules
