Potential energy is sometimes called the energy of position. This means that it has the ability (potential) to become kinetic energy. A Bowling ball that is held over your head has potential energy. As soon as it is dropped and begins moving, the potential energy begins transforming into kinetic energy.

∙ 14y agokinetic is speed and expenditure of energy. Potential is about storing the energy. So if kinetic is speed and potential is about how can you store it. Then the simpliest answer would be to walk up a hill (storing potential energy coz u gotta come back down) and then walking down the hill (spending your energy you stored before)

Can heat be completely transformed to kinetic energy?
No heat can not be transformed to kinetic energy.
Is a falling rock a kinetic reaction?
There is no such thing as a kinetic reaction. Any moving body has kinetic energy. When a rock falls, its gravitational potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.
Can Potential energy be transformed into kinetic energy?
Yes.
What happens to molecules as their potential energy increase?
will be transformed into kinetic energy
How is energy transformed to other forms of energy?
In many different ways, depending on the specific type of energy transformation. Here are just a few examples:A stone is thrown up, getting slower and slower. Kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy. On its way down, the same stone gets faster and faster again. Potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.Part of its kinetic energy is lost to friction. The kinetic energy is converted to heat energy.When it strikes the ground, it makes a sound. Kinetic energy is transformed to sound energy. (However, you can expect most of the energy to be converted into heat energy.)
Can heat be completely transformed to kinetic energy?
No heat can not be transformed to kinetic energy.
How does a hydroelectric dam change the type of energy?
There are several. Gravitational potential energy is transformed into linear kinetic energy, which is then transformed into rotational kinetic energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy.
Is a falling rock a kinetic reaction?
There is no such thing as a kinetic reaction. Any moving body has kinetic energy. When a rock falls, its gravitational potential energy is transformed to kinetic energy.
How do gliders transformed potential energy into Kinetic energy?
Gilders transformed Potential energy into Kinetic energy by if a Motor doesn't work the gliders would have the machine you are in just slip from potential energy (the motor) into Kinetic energy (is the energy of motion).
Can potential energy transformed into kinetic energy?
Yes
Can Potential energy be transformed into kinetic energy?
Yes.
How does hydropower transformed?
The potential energy of the falling down water transfers to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy turns turbines that are connected to electric generators where the kinetic energy transfers into electric energy.
What happens to molecules as their potential energy increase?
will be transformed into kinetic energy

Why is heat called the graveyard of kinetic energy?
Heat is referred to as the graveyard of kinetic energy in that once kinetic energy has been transformed into heat, it is no longer usable.
What is a energy transformation in a car engine?
The chemical energy is transformed in kinetic energy.
What energy transformed in motors?
motor is of mechanical energy which is made of kinetic energy
