When does a coaster have a large amount of Kinetic Energy and when does it have a large amount of Potential Energy?
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
The amount of energy in a chemical that can do useful work is called?
This would be its chemical potential energy, of course it depends on what other chemical(s) it is reacting with, such as oxygen.
Is a rock potential or kinetic energy?
It has potential energy but when it is in movement it will possess kinetic energy
Is Kientic energy greater than potential energy?
potential energy is when something has the ability to use kinetic energy so it really depends on how much energy that something has
What would be the skaters speed if all the potential energy could be converted into kinetic energy?
Clearly, that depends on the amount of potential energy. If given the height, calculate the potential energy with the formula for gravitational potential energy (PE = mgh). If mass is not given, you can assume any mass (it doesn't affect the result), or use a variable "m". Then, assuming it gets converted to kinetic energy, use the formula for kinetic energy (KE = (1/2)mv2), replace the KE with the energy you calculated before, and solve for v (the speed).
What is the amount of potential energy possessed by an elevated object is equal to?
The potential energy is EP= mgh where g is the gravitaional acceleration and h the elevation.
What does graavitational energy mean?
gravitaional potential energy it is the product of mass x gravity x height
What is gravitaional potential energy related too?
Mass, and its distance from a nearby massive body.
What two things do potential and kinetic energy need to gain more energy?
Well, basically, the higher an object is above the ground, the more potential energy it has. For kinetic energy, the amount of energy depends on the amount of force.
Is potential energy that depends on height is elastic potential energy?
No.
When does a coaster have a large amount of Kinetic Energy and when does it have a large amount of Potential Energy?
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
What elastic potential energy depends on?
Elastic potential energy depends on the distance the object is compressed or stretched.
Is it possible to have more kinetic energy than potential energy?
No, because potential energy is the amount of energy that COULD be used, while kinetic energy is the amount of energy that IS being used.
How much kinetic energy does a book have just it hits the floor?
Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.
The amount of gravitational potential energy released as an object falls depends on?
-- the mass of the object -- the height through which it falls
What is factors influence potential energy?
Use the formula for potential energy: PE = mgh (mass x gravity x height). From this formula, it is clear that the amount of potential energy of an object depends on the object's mass, the force of gravity, and the height above the ground.
The amount of energy in a chemical that can do useful work is called?
This would be its chemical potential energy, of course it depends on what other chemical(s) it is reacting with, such as oxygen.
