How much of the total energy in problems 3 and 4 has been transformed to kinetic energy?

37 percent of the total energy in Problem-3 was transformed to kinetic energy.
Once it was moving, it was routed over to Problem-4, where it is being stored.

If energy is neither created or destroyed what is it?
The total quantity is constant. The energy is transformed into different types e.g. potential energy is transformed into kinetic and sound energy.
How can thermal energy be transformed to kinetic energy in a car?
When gasoline burns, it is transformed into kinetic then used in motion. Also remember the Conservation of Energy Law, no energy can be created or destroyed. So when the total energy in the world one day becomes useless, things will come to a standstill.
What is the total kinetic energy and potential energy?
It is the sum of potential and kinetic energy.
The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is know as?
The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is thermal energy.
Need an explanation why kinetic energy is always conserved during elastic collision what is meant by conserved?
In this context "conserved" means the total kinetic energy of all the objects is the same after the collision as before the collision. Note, the TOTAL is the same but the individual kinetic energies of each object may be different before and after. When two or more objects are about to collide they have a certain total kinetic energy. It is common that during the collision some of the kinetic energy is transformed into heat. So after the collision the total kinetic energy is less then before the collision. This is a non-elastic collision. There are some collisions, however, in which none of the kinetic energy is changed to heat. These are called ELASTIC collisions. So the total kinetic energy doesn't change, or is "conserved". There is another possible non-elastic collision. If during the collision there is an explosion, then its possible for the objects to have a larger total kinetic energy after the collision as they aquire some of the explosive energy. Finally note, that in all collisions the TOTAL vector momentum is the same just before and just after the collision. So in a collision momentum is always conserved.

The thermal energy of an object is?
The total kinetic and potential energy of its particles.
Total amount of potential and kinetic energy?
Total Energy = Potential + Kinetic TE=PE+KE
Formula for total energy?
kinetic energy+potential energy=total energy
How do you check how much potential energy is conerted to kinetic energy?
The amount of potential energy lost should equal the amount of kinetic energy gained (if we are talking about problems)... or, you can use these equations to figure out the total initial energy and total final energy. PE = mgh KE = 1/2(m)(v2)

Can mass be transformed into energy and vice versa and if so why does this not follow the conservation of mass and energy?
Transformation of energy does follow the conservation of mass and energy. When a body gains potential energy, it loses kinetic energy and viceversa. Therefore total energy always remains constant.
Explain the difference between total and average molecular kinetic energy of gas contained in a box?
Average Kinetic Energy is determined by the temperate of the gas. The higher the temperature, the higher the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules.Total Kinetic Energy is the average kinetic energy multiplied by the mass - the number of gas molecules in the box.- DENNIS LAM
What term refers to the total kinetic energy of the particles in a material?
Thermal energy is the term for total kinetic energy in a substance, according to a 5th grade science book. There may be other forms of energy in a substance, but thermal energy is the total kinetic energy.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample.
