As a snowflake falls, it converts its potential energy (due to gravity pulling it downward) into kinetic energy (motion energy). When the snowflake lands, some of this kinetic energy may be converted into sound and heat upon impact.

When a snowflake falls does it loses kinetic energy?

Yes, a snowflake will gradually lose kinetic energy as it falls due to air resistance and gravitational forces acting upon it. This will cause the snowflake's speed to decrease until it eventually comes to a stop on the ground.


How does a snowflake sign or symbol look?

What happens to potential energy of an object as it falls?

It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)


Is a snowflake liquid?

No, a snowflake is not a liquid. It is a solid crystal. And each crystal in unique and unlike any other snowflake.


What is the force of a falling snowflake?

The force of a falling snowflake is determined by its mass and acceleration due to gravity. As the snowflake falls, it experiences air resistance which counteracts the force of gravity to some extent. The force of a falling snowflake is usually very small due to its light weight.

What happens to kinetic energy as an object falls?

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases and is converted into kinetic energy. This leads to an increase in the object's kinetic energy as its speed and velocity increase due to the pull of gravity.

What happens when electrons in conduction band loses its energy and falls to a hole in the valence band?

The energy leaves as either a photon or phonon.


As a puck falls what happens to the potent-ion energy?

As the puck falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases. This is due to the conservation of energy principle, where the total energy of the system (potential + kinetic) remains constant. The potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the puck gains speed and moves closer to the ground.
