When the ball falls down, the potential energy decreases (potential energy is greater at a greater height), but the kinetic energy (energy due to movement) will increase.
What else can I help you with?
A boy holds a ball in his hand before he drops it the ball bounces and he catches it againhow is energy transfered in the situation?
When the boy is holding the ball in his hand, the ball has gravitational potential energy. When he releases the ball, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the ball falls. As the ball hits the ground, some of the kinetic energy is transferred into elastic potential energy, causing it to bounce back up. Finally, when the boy catches the ball again, some of the kinetic energy is transferred into his hand.
When potential energy converts to kinectic energy?
When the object with the potential energy is released. For example, if you hold a lead ball in your hand at shoulder height it has potential energy. As soon as you release it from your hand its potential energy will begin to be converted to kinetic energy.
How can you increase potential energy of a ball in your hand?
You can increase the potential energy of a ball in your hand by lifting it higher from the ground, as potential energy is directly proportional to height. The higher you lift the ball, the more potential energy it will have.
Does a ball in your hand possess energy?
Yes, a ball in your hand possesses potential energy due to its position relative to the ground. When you release the ball, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the ball falls towards the ground.
Which energy forms is involved in winding a pocket watch?
potential energy The energy possessed by a body as a result of its position or condition rather than its motion. A raised weight, coiled spring, or charged battery has potential energy. An object held in a person's hand has potential energy, which turns to kinetic energy - the energy of motion - when the person lets it go, and it drops to the ground.
How does a yo-yo transer potential energy to kinetic energy and back to potential energy as it moves up and down the string?
When the yo-yo is being held in the person's hand, it has maxium potential energy, and zero kinetic energy. When the yo-yo drops on the string from the person's hand, it's velocity increases due to the acceleration due to gravity, increasing kinetic energy and reducing potential energy. When the yo-yo is at its greatest distance from the person's hand, it has maximum kinetic energy, and zero potential energy. When the yo-yo moves back up the string, its kinetic energy decreases and its potential energy increases. Once the yo-yo is back in the person's hand, it again has maximum potential energy, and zero kinetic energy.

If a person pulls a hanging pendulum to one side and holds it what happens?
it has potential energy while your hand applies and equal and opposite force
What kind of energy is bending your fingers to make a fist?
before you move your hand (when it is still) it has potential energy. When your hand is actually moving it has KINETIC ENERGY. Then when it is in a fist and not moving it has potential energy again.
Does a ball in your hand possess energy?
Yes, a ball in your hand possesses potential energy due to its position relative to the ground. When you release the ball, this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the ball falls towards the ground.

Examples of potential energy?
A stretched rubber band has elastic potential energy. Water stored behind a dam has gravitational potential energy. A compressed spring in a toy car has elastic potential energy. A book placed on a shelf has gravitational potential energy.
Is holding a spring so tight that it doesn't expand in your hand Kinetic or potential energy?
potential
When you hold a yo-yo in your hand what kind of energy does the yo-yo have?
When you hold a yo-yo in your hand, it has potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy would transform into kinetic energy as the yo-yo falls and unwinds when released.
Use the law of conservation of energy to describe what happens to the potential energy of a rock when it is dropped from your hand and strikes the ground?
When the rock is dropped, it loses potential energy as it falls due to gravity. This potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, increasing the rock's speed. When the rock strikes the ground, all its potential energy is converted into sound and heat energy upon impact.
