A rock is pushed out of a six-story window that is 60 feet above the ground. What energy changes occur as the rock falls to the ground?
As the rock falls, its potential energy decreases due to its decreasing height, while its kinetic energy increases as it gains speed. The total mechanical energy of the rock remains constant, assuming there are no external forces acting on it, as it converts from potential energy at the top to kinetic energy at the bottom.
What else can I help you with?
A rock on top of a mountain has what energy?
Potential energy. Although if the rock is pushed, moved etc. it becomes kinetic energy
What type of energy does a cup have sitting on a table have?
The cup sitting on a table has potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy if the cup is pushed off the table, causing it to fall and accelerate towards the ground.
What are the energy transformations occur while dribbling a basketball?
When dribbling a basketball, the kinetic energy of the player's hand is transferred to the basketball when it is pushed downward. This kinetic energy then becomes gravitational potential energy as the ball reaches its highest point before falling back towards the ground. As the ball hits the ground, some of this kinetic energy is transferred back into the ball to keep it moving.
Is a pushed down spring kinetic energy?
No the energy stored in a compressed spring is not kinetic energy.
Why does the speed of a tyre increase whenever it is pushed?
When a tire is pushed, the force of the push accelerates the tire, increasing its speed. As the tire moves, the rolling resistance between the tire and the ground decreases, allowing it to move faster. This is due to the conversion of the applied force into kinetic energy, propelling the tire forward.

When a pendulum swings if it is not continuously pushed it will stop eventually because some of its energy is changed into blank?
The energy changes into is Thermal energy because of the friction caused by it moving produces heat. [Hope it helps]

Did Robert Goddard use newtons 3rd law?
Yes, he used the law when he walked. His foot pushed backwards on the ground and the opposing reaction pushed him forward.
