Thermal gravitational gravitational potential kinetic potential sound and mechanical energy is found in a saxophone?
thermal and gravitational and gravitational potential and kinetic and poential and sound and mechanical energy is found in a saxaphone.
What is an example of gravitational energy transforming to mechanical energy?
Gravitational potential energy IS mechanical energy. Mechanical energy includes both kinetic energy, and potential energy.When an object falls, gravitational potential energy will be converted to KINETIC energy.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
Can an objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
What energy occur as a pendulum swings?
There is Mechanical Energy. This Mechanical Energy equals Potential + Kinetic Energies. At the maximum heigh and with the pendulum set still there is the maximum Potential Energy (so Kinetic equals 0, and Potential Energy equals Mechanical Energy). When we release the pendulum this Potential Energy transforms into Kinetic Energy which will be maximum and equal to the Mechanical Energy when the 'rope' or 'string' that holds the pendulum is in the same direction as the acceleration, or force, in this case gravity. Then, and if there is no friction (e.g. air) the pendulum will reach the same maximum heigh that it had in X0 and the Kinetic Energy will transform into Potential, reinitiating the process but in the opposite direction. Hope i helped and sorry for my english. :)

What happens to the gravitational potential energy as the pendulum starts back up towards its highest point?
The pendulum's momentum or kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy until all of the kinetic energy is converted. The pendulum stops.

A pendulum is designed to transfer potential gravitational energy into what?
When the bob of the pendulum while moving stops at one, its Kinetic energy changes completely into potential energy and when it starts its motion again, the potential energy changes to the kinetic energy
Work is transfer of?
mechanical energy, that is, kinetic and gravitational potential energy.

Can an objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy explain?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
What are the three forms of mechanical energy?
Kinetic energy Elastic Potential energy Gravitational Potential energy.
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.
