Potential energy is stationary object while if that object is in motion then it is said that that now that object posseses kinetic energy. so if that ball is on table it posses p.e. and if u throw it carries p.e.

When the ball falls down, the potential energy decreases (potential energy is greater at a greater height), but the kinetic energy (energy due to movement) will increase.

A girl throws a ball 15 m into the air the ball has the maximum potential energy at a height of?

The ball has the highest potential energy at its maximum height (15m in the air). At the beginning, the ball has only kinetic energy and no potential energy. But as the ball travels upward, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy. When the ball changes direction, there is no kinetic energy, as all of it is now potential energy. As the ball returns back down, potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy.


What will happen to the potential and kinetic energy as the ball falls?

Gravitational potential energy increases; kinetic energy increases.


What is the energy in an object about to fall?

the energy in an object about to fall is potential energy then kinetic energy because when the object is not falling, it has potential energy but when it's actually falling, it has kinetic energy.


When you hold a ball above the ground does it have kinetic energy?

Yes and no. When the ball is at its highest point, it is storing potential energy. when it is moving back down, the potential energy turns into kinetic energy, and so forth. But when the ball is done bouncing, it doesn't technically "store" energy.


How does kinetic energy of the ball relate to the bounce of the ball?

kinetic energy is enegy being used, the opposite of potential energy, which is energy being stored, or waiting to be used. When a ball bounces it is using its energy. When a ball is held by a person, it holds potential energy, or the potential to use energy.

When did the potential energy of the ball begin to change to kinetic energy?

when the position of the BALL is changed WITH RESPECT TO HEIGHT then P.E change in to K.E

Describe the conversions between potential and kinetic energy that occur when you shoot a basketball in a basket?

When the ball is positioned in your hands it has full potential energy. As you move and the ball is thrown at the basket, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, by the transfer of kinetic energy from your arms, to your hands, to the ball. When the ball hits the basket some of its kinetic energy was converted into potential energy and then back into kinetic energy as it hit the ground.


Is a falling ball potential or kinetic energy?

it is kinetic because it involves releasing the energy.


How does kenetic and potential energy affect soccer in general?

In soccer, you have a soccer ball. The ball has potential energy. When you kick the ball, the potential becomes kinetic energy and the ball moves. However, your foot has potential energy as well (all matter has potential energy because all matter has the potential to move). When you kick with your foot that potential energy becomes kinetic energy. When the soccer ball is on the ground it actually has no potential energy because potential energy is only associated with height. When the ball is kicked however the kinetic energy from the player is passed on to the ball. That kinetic energy makes the ball move. If the ball is kicked into the air then the kinetic energy is passed on and some of that kinetic energy transforms into potential energy and kinetic.

Can the Newton's Cradle possess potential energy?

Sure, when the ball is in the highest position, it has a maximum amount of potential energy. When it is just about to hit the other balls, the potential energy has been converted to kinetic energy. When the other ball goes up again, the kinetic energy turns, once more, into potential energy.Sure, when the ball is in the highest position, it has a maximum amount of potential energy.

What is the two forms of energy?

Kinetic energy (energy of motion) and potential energy (stored energy) A ball at the top of a building getting ready to be dropped has potential energy, but a ball falling has kinetic energy If the ball is at the top of the building, it has 100% potential and 0% kinetic and when it is halfway from top to bottom and falling it has 50% of each
