When Bruce lets go of the weight what happens to its energy?
When an object falls down, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
When a gas is heated is all of the absorbed energy converted to kinetic energy or potential?
When a gas is heated the energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Hands moving on a battery operated clock is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
Which form of energy is converted to kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy in a mass of matter that is in motion, the energy of motion. Potential energy (where mass is in a gravity field) can be converted into kinetic energy Chemical energy (of an explosion) can be converted into kinetic energy Electrical energy can be converted into kinetic energy (eg in an electric motor)
As an object falls the gravitational potential energy of the object is converted to what?
Some of its potential energy changes to kinetic energy.
Is potential energy was converted to kinetic energy?
It CAN be converted to kinetic energy, but it won't always do so.
What happens to potential energy that is not converted to kinetic energy?
If potential energy is not converted into kinetic energy (or into any other type of energy) then it remains potential. Potential energy does not expire.
What happen to the potential energy of an object as it falls?
It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)

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.
What point on the halfpipe does the skateboarder possess only kinetic energy and no potential energy?
At the bottom , where all potential energy has been converted to kinetic
When the potential energy of gasoline is converted to the kinetic energy of a moving what has occured?
Energy transfer occurs when potential energy is changed to kinetic energy.
Can potential energy only be converted to kinetic energy?
by force
