How can conversion from potential energy to kinetic energy that is useful to people?
One way this conversion occurs is through a roller coaster: Potential energy at the top of a hill is converted to kinetic energy as the coaster descends, providing thrills for riders. Another example is a hydroelectric dam: Potential energy from the water held at a height is converted to kinetic energy as it flows through turbines, generating electricity for people to use.

What are the relationships between mechanical potential and kinetic energy?
People can improve me, but kinetic energy is the energy of motion and particles speed of a substance. So in otherwords if you had a textbook sitting on the table, it has potential energy, but if you push it off the table it then sort of has kinetic energy.
Explain how energy is conserved when you throw a ball into the air and then catch it?
When it is in your hand you have potential energy, then when you throw it you use mechanical, it has kinetic in the air, then slowly shanges to potential in the air, then all the way potentail energy in your hand.
How do you convert convert potential engery into kinetic energy?
The ways to harness energy vary as broadly as the sources that are being tapped. There are a lot of energy sources, and it would be wise to investigate a bit more by asking some more questions here and narrowing the focus of them.
Is it true that the temperature of an object is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in the objects?
FALSE (APEX)
What this energy can do once transformed to kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy can move people along the pavement, or it can move them in buses or trains. Kinetic energy is the energy of movement, half x mass x velocity-squared. If the mass is in kg and the velocity in metres/sec, the answer will be in Joules.

What are some ways people use kinetic and potential energy?
its like your sitting in a chair potential then u get up and do something like move the chair kinetic
How can a parked bus potential energy changes to kinetic energy?
When the bus starts moving its potential energy will change to kinetic energy.
Is wind up for the pitch kinetic energy or potential energy?
Answer 1Kinetic. Remember, kinetic energy is the energy of movement.Answer 2If one considers winding up for the pitch as analogous to winding up the spring on a crossbow, then you are converting kinetic energy (the motion produced by your arms) to potential "elastic" energy. Releasing the catch on the bow then converts the stored potential energy to the kinetic energy of the bolt as it flies away.Of course people are not crossbows, and the interplay of forces and motions is a bit more complex.Added:Answer two's analogy is flawed as the potential energy on the cross bow winding is not potential until the mechanism is stopped and locked. Until that point the energy is kinetic to potential. A pitcher winding up does not store potential energy as a locked in place cross bow bolt does.Added 2:Hence my statement that winding up a crossbow is *converting* kinetic energy to potential, while releasing the crossbow *converts* potential to kinetic energy.But as already noted, comparing winding up for a pitch to winding up a crossbow is probably not very accurate anyway.When a pitcher winds himself up for a pitch, he positions himself in such a way as to be able to convert the maximum amount of *chemical* energy into kinetic energy. At least, that's how I see it.
How is riding a bike kinetic energy?
The motorcycle's gasoline is potential energy. The energy is released as a chemical reaction (chemical energy) and converted to heat (heat energy). It then becomes converted to kinetic energy with the movement in the engine, and subsequent movement of the motorcycle.
How many type of energy?
In one sense, energy is energy, it can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy exists as Heat, Light, Potential (stored), Kinetic (movement) or Chemical. Kinetic energy is the energy of a mocing object. Heat is really another form of Kinetic energy as it is really the amount of movement of atoms ina given substance. LIght is electromagnetic radiation. Potential energy is the energy stored in, say, an object at the top of a mountain, Chemical energy is energy that will be released during a chemical reaction (until then it is stored in the chemicals),Another type of energy is mechanical energy. An example is your hand moving across the paper.
Is the food you eat potential or kinetic energy?
The food energy that can be utilized by the eater of the food is chemical potential energy. In a food fight, when the food is propelled through the air, it temporarily acquires some kinetic energy as well, which has nothing to do with its identity as food, and can't be utilized by eating the food, since it must come to rest before the eating commences. ________ All matter is made up of a combination of kinetic and potential energy. The kinetic energy that comprises your food is all the energy of motion of its molecules. The hotter your food, the faster its molecules are moving and the more kinetic energy they posess. Also, as mentioned above, if you throw your food, it will posess bulk kinetic energy. However, the majority of the energy contained within food is potential energy stored within what you could think of as unhappy chemical bonds. When you eat food, your body invests a little energy to break apart these unhappy bonds and makes new, happier bonds between the food molecules and the oxygen you breathe. When these happy bonds form, a large ammount of energy is released. Your body uses this energy for running around and having food fights.
What conversion process drives a roller coaster?
On a roller coaster, we see the cars lifted to the high point on the ride. This converts the kinetic energy used to lift the cars into potential energy. When the cars are dumped over that initial apex, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy. As those cars continue along the track, conversions of kinetic energy to potential energy will occur at each rise along the course, and there will be conversions from potential energy back into kinetic energy at the drops. This continues until the end of the ride, where most of the potential energy that was initially put in has been lost in friction, and only a bit of braking is needed to stop the cars.
When was kinetic energy discovered?
People have had an intuitive understanding of kinetic energy for at least as long as there have been people.
Do people have kinetic?
Yes, people have kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, and our bodies are constantly in motion as we move and perform daily activities. This energy is generated from the movement of our muscles and body.
How is wind energy transferred into potential energy?
when any object changes its elevation from the ground the potential energy is transferred negatively or positively into kinetic energy such that the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy remains constant. For example, if a ball falls down from a height above ground. Its starting kinetic energy is zero while the potential energy is maximum. the closer it comes to ground, the less is the potential energy and the greater is the kinetic energy. The same happens in water falls.
