When a bird is in flight, it is primarily exhibiting kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. As the bird moves through the air, it has both forward velocity and lift, both of which contribute to its kinetic energy.

Is a kite flying through the air kinetic energy?

If the feather is moving, it has kinetic energy. If there is room beneath the feather for it to fall, it has potential energy due to gravity.


What are some examples that illustrate the potential and kinetic energy of objects in motion?

Examples of potential energy in motion include a roller coaster at the top of a hill and a stretched rubber band before it is released. Examples of kinetic energy in motion include a moving car, a swinging pendulum, and a flying bird.


What is the potential energy of a 0.480 kg bird sitting 22.8 m above the ground?

The potential energy of the bird can be calculated using the formula: Potential energy = mass x acceleration due to gravity x height. Plugging in the values, the potential energy of the bird is 106.524 Joules.


What some examples of kinetic and potential energy?

Any fluid/object in motion possesses Kinetic energy. Energy stored in an object/fluid due to its height is known as Potential energy. Water stored up in dam has potential energy and when it is allowed to flow downhill it possesses kinetic energy. Pendulum is also a good example to demonstrate both kinetic and potential energy. The total quantum of energy in this universe remains constant.


Which has more gravitational potential energy.a bird on the ground or the same bird in a tree?

The bird in the tree has more gravitational potential energy because it is higher above the ground. Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's height relative to a reference point, in this case, the ground.

A flying bird is what type of energy?

potential to kinetic energy


What kind of energy is a bird flying?

If you are told in the question that the object is moving then it most likely posses kinetic energy. When it is not on the ground, it also possess potential energy, gravitational potential energy to be precise. In this case, the bird possesses both.


Is a bird sitting on a wire potential energy?

yes, as long as the wire is off the ground, the bird will have gravatational energy as it has the possibility to do something while falling. One could even argue that a bird flying has both kinetic and gravatational potential energy. i hope that clears things up!

Example of kinetic energy?

Anything that had potential energy then converted to kinetic energy. A good example would a ball. If you are playing bowling and you are swinging the ball backwards and about to through it foward, the ball has potential energy. Once you release it, and while the ball is falling it has kinetic energy. The energy of the changes from potential to kinetic energy. Hope this helps XD


Does a jet plane at the point of taking off have kinetic energy or potential enegery?

Yes - because an airplane and a bird both flying exist in a potential field field (gravity) and can be moved by that force, they both have potential energy. How much depends upon their altitude. As well, because they both have a velocity in forward flight, they both have kinetic energy.


What is mechanical energy the sum of?

Energy can basically be divided in two groups: thermal and nonthermal.In principle nonthermal energy can be transformed 100 % in to any other kind ofnonthermal energy or thermal energy.For the case of thermal energy only a part of it can be transformed into a nonthermal energy through a 'Heat Engine' according to thermodynamics 2nd law.Example of a nonthermal energy is mechanical energy of which potential energy ( owed to the position of a body in a gravity field, or given to a body by a spring orsomething similar), and kinetic energy of a macroscopic body ( molecules kinetic energy in gases and liquids are not included here, they are part of the body's thermal energy) belong to it.


A boy will target a bird on a seven meter tree with a stone The bird will likely receive greater PE from the stone because?

I think what is being suggested here is that the kinetic energy of the stone will have reduced considerably by the time it reaches the bird 7 meters up, but the potential energy will have increased correspondingly. Suppose the stone just reaches 7 meters, its kinetic energy will have all been turned into potential energy, but the bird will only obtain that PE if the stone sticks to it, otherwise the stone just falls back to earth and regains its kinetic energy before impact.

How is energy changed in the toy bird?

when you wind the spring tighter it gets more potential energy.when you release the toy the spring unwinds.it turns into kinetic energy.
