What happens the the kinetic energy of a falling object?

As a falling object descends, its potential energy (due to its position above the ground) is converted into kinetic energy (energy of motion). This kinetic energy increases as the object accelerates towards the ground. When the object reaches the ground, all of its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


What has both kinetic and potential energy?

A falling object.


When an object that is falling loose potential energy what is this transformed into?

The potential energy is transformed into kinetic energy, heat and sometimes sound.


Does a falling object transfer energy?

Yes, a falling object transfers potential energy into kinetic energy as it descends due to gravity. The object's potential energy decreases as it loses height and gains speed, converting that potential energy into kinetic energy.


What has potntial energy that changes to kinetic?

A falling object changes from gravitational potential to kinetic.


Does gravity cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?

No. Friction with the air does with an object in free fall in the earth's atmosphere. Gravity causes a falling body to accelerate so it changes potential energy into kinetic energy.


What is the kinetic energy of the free falling object that eventually stop on reaching the ground?

Once the object has reached the ground, its kinetic energy is zero.


What kind of energy is in a falling object?

Kinetic energy of a falling object can be calculated for a specific height at a specific point since a falling body accelerates which means that it's velocity is changing every moment. To calculate the kinetic energy of a falling body at a certain height, we should know the mass of the body and its velocity at that point.Then we can apply the following formula: K.E. of an object = 1/2(mv2)


What is the energy in an object about to fall?

the energy in an object about to fall is potential energy then kinetic energy because when the object is not falling, it has potential energy but when it's actually falling, it has kinetic energy.


Why the kinetic energy is zero for object falling towards Earth from space?

The kinetic energy of an object falling towards Earth from space is not zero. As the object accelerates due to gravity, its kinetic energy increases. At the point of impact with Earth, the object's kinetic energy is at its maximum before being converted into other forms of energy upon collision.


What is an example of potential energy into kentic energy?

An example of potential energy being converted into kinetic energy is when a rock is held up in the air and then released. As the rock falls, its potential energy due to its height is converted into kinetic energy as it gains speed.


A boulder falling through the air has what type of energy?

The boulder falling through the air has kinetic energy. This is the energy possessed by an object in motion.
