Can kinetic energy be converted into elastic energy?
Certainly. That's exactly what happens when you fall into the middle of a trampoline. As the stretchy fabric absorbs your kinetic energy, you slow down, and you eventually stop when all of your kinetic energy is stored in the trampoline as elastic energy. Then the elastic energy transfers back and becomes your kinetic energy, as you go sailing again.
What is the relationship between energy and the behavior of a vertical spring-mass system?
The relationship between energy and the behavior of a vertical spring-mass system is that the potential energy stored in the spring is converted into kinetic energy as the mass moves up and down. This conversion of energy causes the mass to oscillate or bounce up and down in a periodic motion.
What happens when you push down on a spring and collapse it?
When you push down on a spring and collapse it, the potential energy stored in the spring gets converted into kinetic energy as the coils compress and move closer together. The spring will exert a resisting force that increases the more you compress it, leading to a buildup of potential energy until the spring reaches its maximum compression point or fully collapses.
What kind of energy does a Pogo stick make?
A Pogo stick converts mechanical energy generated by the user bouncing up and down into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The stored potential energy in the compressed spring of the Pogo stick is released as kinetic energy when the user jumps on it and starts bouncing.
A bike parked at the top of a hill is an example of what?
Potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy, as the bike has stored energy due to its position at a higher elevation. When the bike is pushed down the hill, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it accelerates.
Describe the energy change of a wind up toy car as it runs down a slope?
The mechanical energy is stored in the spring as potential energy within the pullback toy and when you release it, it gets converted into kinetic energy. Hence cycle is Mechanical --- Spring (Potential)--- Kinetic

If the kinetic energy of the coaster goes up What happen to the potential energy?
uh, down? (yes, down) The potential energy, as in a compressed spring, goes to zero as the spring is released. The potential energy (sort of) becomes the kinetic energy. (Now, I'm sure that that statement could get an argument in the physics study room in the science building, but it'll get you by...)

Is a wagon rolling down the side walk kinetic energy or potential energy?
kinetic energy
Is rolling down a hill potential or kinetic energy?
Rolling down a hill involves both potential and kinetic energy. At the top of the hill, the object has potential energy due to its height. As it rolls down, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the object gains speed.
What kind of energy does a Pogo stick make?
A Pogo stick converts mechanical energy generated by the user bouncing up and down into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. The stored potential energy in the compressed spring of the Pogo stick is released as kinetic energy when the user jumps on it and starts bouncing.
If a stone is pushed from the top of the hill what kind of energy would it have halfway down the hill?
The stone would have a combination of potential and kinetic energy halfway down the hill. The potential energy would decrease as the stone moves lower, while the kinetic energy would increase as the stone gains speed.
A bike parked at the top of a hill is an example of what?
Potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy, as the bike has stored energy due to its position at a higher elevation. When the bike is pushed down the hill, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it accelerates.
A 10 kg rock is pushed off the edge of a bridge 50 meters above the ground. What was the kinetic energy of the rock at the midway point of its fall?
2450
How does kinetic energy change into potential energy?
An object has potential energy if it has been pushed into a certain position, against a certain type of force (a so-called "conservative force"). The potential energy will automatically be "released" when the object goes back to a lower-energy position (meaning, in this case, less potential energy); in that case, the potential energy will quite often be converted into kinetic energy, since the force tends to accelerate the object. One example is when an object in a high position (and which therefore has gravitational potential energy) falls down. Another example is when a spring is released.
