Anything that falls. Some examples are: -- A waterfall -- A ball rolling down a hill -- A sailplane, when it is NOT climbing in a thermal -- Any pendulum, when it is moving TOWARD the center of its swing -- Anything you drop. The gravitational potential that it has relative to the floor while you're holding it in your hand is exactly the kinetic energy it has when it hits the floor.
What else can I help you with?
Is gravitational energy an example of kinetic energy?
No, gravitational energy is a form of potential energy, not kinetic energy. Gravitational energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
Before you drop something what kind of energy does it have?
An object held at a certain height has potential energy due to its position in the gravitational field. This potential energy transforms into kinetic energy as the object falls, increasing its speed and momentum.
When a bus brakes to a stop its kinetic energy transforms?
When a bus brakes to a stop, its kinetic energy transforms into heat energy due to friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This heat energy is dissipated into the surroundings.
Does kenetic energy exceed Gravitational potential energy?
Yes, in most cases kinetic energy exceeds gravitational potential energy because kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object, while gravitational potential energy is associated with the height of an object in a gravitational field. As an object moves, it typically gains kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy decreases.
Why In a standard vehicle the braking system transforms the kinetic energy into what?
In a standard vehicle, the braking system transforms the kinetic energy into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors. This heat dissipation slows down the vehicle by reducing its kinetic energy.
Is gravitational energy kinetic?
Gravitational potential energy is a form of potential energy, not kinetic energy. It represents the energy stored in an object due to its position relative to a gravitational field. However, when that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the object falls, it can lead to movement and activity.

Describe the role of energy transformation in the production of electricity?
Heat energy (as steam or hot gas) transforms to kinetic energy through the turbine. The kinetic energy transforms into electricity through the rotor of the electric generator.
When a bus brakes to a stop its kinetic energy transforms?
When a bus brakes to a stop, its kinetic energy transforms into heat energy due to friction between the brake pads and the wheels. This heat energy is dissipated into the surroundings.
Can you have maximum gravitational potential energy and maximum gravitational kinetic energy at the same point?
No, gravitational portential energy is more with more hight and gravitational kinetic energy is maximum just before reaching the ground.
Is gravity kinetic energy?
There is no "gravity kinetic energy". There is gravitational energy (a type of potential energy), and - separately - there is kinetic energy (the energy of movement).
What is a device which transforms electrical energy to sound energy?
A loudspeaker
What device changes gravitational potential to kinetic energy?
A simple example would be a roller coaster. As the coaster climbs up a hill, potential energy due to its height increases. When it goes down the hill, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the coaster gains speed.
Does kenetic energy exceed Gravitational potential energy?
Yes, in most cases kinetic energy exceeds gravitational potential energy because kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object, while gravitational potential energy is associated with the height of an object in a gravitational field. As an object moves, it typically gains kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy decreases.

In a standard vehicle, the braking system transforms the kinetic energy into heat energy through friction between the brake pads and the brake rotors. This heat dissipation slows down the vehicle by reducing its kinetic energy.
What is the maximum amount of energy the mass can change from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy?
The maximum energy conversion from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy occurs when all of the initial potential energy of the mass is converted to kinetic energy. This means that the maximum amount of energy the mass can change from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy is equal to the initial potential energy of the mass.
