potential energy is an easy energy... just like kenetiic and activation energy some examples of potention energy is a person on top of a hill standing, getting ready to ski.... they have potential energy as they are not moving but are gettting ready to be involved with kenetic energy. also a match getting started...is potentiaal energy.
What else can I help you with?
The potential energy of a pendulum is least?
At the highest point of its swing where its kinetic energy is least and potential energy is maximum.
Where on the rollercoaster is the least amount of potential energy?
The least amount of potential energy on a rollercoaster is usually at the bottom of a loop or at the end of a steep descent. This is because potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the cars speed up due to gravity pulling them downward.
Which letter represents the position at which the basketball has the least potential energy explain?
The letter at the bottom of the arc represents the position at which the basketball has the least potential energy. This is because potential energy is lowest at the lowest point of the arc due to the effect of gravity pulling the basketball down.
Does gasoline have kinetic or potential energy?
Both. Temperature is a measure of average kinetic energy per particle and everything has at least some. Its potential energy is stored in the chemical bonds (and its nucleus) within each molecule (and atom).
When does a bouncy ball has least potential energy?
Right before it hits the ground and right after it bounces back up.Potential energy is "stored energy;" the the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system. If an object is moving very fact, it has kinetic energy, but if an object is in a position where it has the potential to move fast but isn't moving or moving very slowly, the object has a lot of potential energy. A bouncy ball has a parabolic pattern (Like an upside-down U) of movement as it bounces. At the top of the parabola- when the bouncy ball is highest in the air- it has the highest potential energy because it is not moving for that instant, but has the capacity to do so. as it moves downwards, it loses potential energy and gains kinetic energy. By the time it is about to hit the ground, it has the greatest kinetic energy because it gains momentum, and the least potential energy. As the ball bounces back up, it loses momentum, so it is losing kinetic energy and gaining potential energy. A bouncy ball has the least potential energy right before it hits the ground and right after it begins bouncing back up.There is also an exchange of kinetic and potential energy as the ball hits the ground. Elastic energy is the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape. So, the kinetic gravitational energy (because gravity is doing the work) changes to elastic potential energy (it is not moving in any way for an instant, but has the potential to move in the sense of being squished down), and as the energy is being used to distort the shape of the ball, elastic kinetic energy. As the ball has been distorted to its maximum extent, it has more potential energy, which is transferred to kinetic as the ball first changes back to its original shape, elastic kinetic energy, and then bounces back up, when it begins to lose its kinetic energy again.

How is potential and kenetic energy different?
Potential energy is the energy in which you have when you are standing or sitting still. Though doesn't have to be completely still, to be at least still and trying not to move, a majority of your energy is Potential. Kinetic energy is the energy of any and all living things. So, if you are moving, you have a majority of Kinetic energy. If you are being still, then you have Potential energy.
If a ball is thrown up into the air at what point does it have the least potential energy?
When it is lowest - that's when you just threw it, or when it falls back to the ground.
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.
When you throw a ball in the air when does it have the least amount of gravitational potential energy?
Whenever it is at its lowest position.
where on the swing is the kinetic energy the greatest and the potential energy the least?
In between the ground and the bar that holds the swing up so the middle

Consider al bouncing ball were would the ball have least gravitationl energy?
gravitational energy is the same as potential and kinetic energy. When the ball is further from the surface of the earth it will have the most potential energy and when the ball gets closer to the surface of the earth that potential energy turns into kinetic energy because it is being used to move the ball towards the surface.
Where does a roller coaster have the least kinetic energy?
At the tallest point on the track. Potential energy is given by U(Which is potential energy) = mass times height time gravitational constant. You can't change the gravitational constant, or the mass of the roller coaster car. So you have to change the height. PE=mgh so more the height and the mass the more PE
