Elastic Potential Energy
What else can I help you with?
Is energy gained or lost when it converts from kinetic to thermal due to friction?
The total energy of course won't change - you won't "gain" or "lose" energy (First Law of Thermodynamics). However, note that you are basically converting useful energy into unusable energy (Second Law of Thermodynamics).
When you move your hand or foot your body has converted potential energy into what type of energy?
Isn't the answer kinetic energy or something along the lines of that? I'm an eighth grader with a basic understanding of energy, and that's the first that comes to mind....
What part of mechanical energy does the girl is jumping on the trampoline?
If we start with the girl stationary then first she jumps which is the transformation of chemical potential energy to kinetic energy by her leg muscles. As she gains height that kinetic energy (ke) is converted into gravitational potential energy (gpe) which is at a maximum at the top of her jump. As she falls back down again the gpe is converted back into ke. As she lands on the trampoline the ke is stored as potential energy in the springs of the trampoline. As she starts to bounce back up again the springs potential energy is converted into ke and the process repeats.
When you turn on a fan electrical energy changes into?
The electrical energy is converted to kinetic energy and heat. The kinetic energy is first seen in the blades of the fan as they rotate. This kinetic energy is converted to air movement, another form of kinetic energy. The electrical energy isn't fully converted to kinetic energy but turns into heat. This is generated by the magnetic fields of the motor and friction. Both of these are considered to be losses of energy but in fact they are simply a conversion to a form of energy that is not of use.
How does kinetic energy transfer from one object to another?
Kinetic energy can be transferred from one object to another through direct contact, such as in a collision. During the interaction, some of the kinetic energy of the first object is transferred to the second object, causing it to move. This transfer of kinetic energy follows the laws of conservation of energy, ensuring that the total kinetic energy remains constant within the system.

Describe a stone falling off the tabletop in terms of both kinetic energy and potential energy?
Sitting on the table the stone has potential energy, relative to the ground, of weight times height, mgh. It has zero kinetic energy so its total energy is E = 0 + mgh. When it begins falling it loses potential energy (as it loses height) and gains kinetic energy ( as it picks up speed) so the sum stays the same as initially E = KE + PE = mgh. Just before it hits the ground all of its potential energy is gone and has been transformed into kinetic energy. So the kinetic energy at the bottom (1/2)mv^2 will equal the potential energy at the top.
How does a roller coaster convert potential energy to kinetic energy and then back to potential energy again and again?
So the potential energy is the energy in the car at the top of the first slope. It changes into kinetic energy (Speed with mass) as it rolls down the hill. Then the electric motor winds it back up the hill, putting potential energy in the system again.
A roller coaster going down the first hill is an example of what type of energy?
It is kinetic energy because it is in motion.Jesus loves you! A car rolling down a hill is an example of which type of energy?kinetic...Potential energy
What energy occurs first potential or kinetic?
Energy is possessed by virtue of position, shape or motion or all the three properties. Generally potential energy is at first stored in a body which is released as kinetic energy when the body is in motion. But suppose if a body is thrown upwards vertically its kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy.
What level of kinetic energy do particles evaporate first?
Ones with the most energy

If a roller coaster car is pulled by a chain at the beginning of the ride what kind of energy is present at this point?
The motor that drives the chain is being fuelled with electrical energy, which it converts into kinetic energy to move the chain. The chain supplies the rollercoaster carriage with kinetic energy and (hence why its harder to pull something up a slope) gravitational-potential energy. When the chain releases the carriage, and it speeds down the track, it converts its GPE into kinetic energy and thermal/sound wastes.

How can energy be kinetic?
If you fired a bullet vertically upward, it would have kinetic energy at first, when it gets to the top of its travel this would all have been converted to potential energy.
