When pushing your legs back as you swing, you are converting kinetic energy (energy of motion) into potential energy (stored energy due to position or shape). As your legs move backward, they build potential energy that is released when they swing forward again.

What is an example of work that you can do to transfer kinetic energy?

One example is pushing a swing. By pushing the swing, you transfer kinetic energy from your body to the swing, causing it to move back and forth. This transfer of energy allows the swing to gain momentum and continue swinging.


What kind of motion is swinging back and forth on a swing?

Swinging back and forth on a swing involves periodic motion, specifically oscillatory motion. The motion repeats in a regular pattern as the swing moves back and forth around a fixed point.


When you were holding the pendulum at the far end what kind of energy does it possess?

At this point, at the top of the swing, the pendulum has potential energy. As it drops it loses potential and gains kinetic energy. At the fastest point, as the pendulum reached the bottom of the swing, it has kinetic energy. It then loses kinetic energy and gains potential energy as it swings up to the other side.


How do swing doors work?

they have a special kind of screw at the top and bottom of the door. and they don't have a "lock" on them which keeps them from stopping so it can only swing back and forth until it stops on it's own.


What kind of energy does the can gain as it rolls back to you?

it gains kinetic energy as the can rolls back to you.


Differetiative the kind of energy?

enery can be divide into 2 classes 1. is mechanical energy-- this is the energy required to do work. Examples would be the rolling of a wheel, lifting a weight and energy that uses simple machiines (or a bunch of simple machines put together to make a more complicated design or arrangement.) 2. is potential energy-- this is "stored" energy like the heat released in burning a fuel (aka: chemical energy), or the energy of position such as a swing at the top of it's pendulum swing.

What kind of energy has a catapult when the elastic has been back?

A catapult has potential energy stored in the elastic material when it is pulled back. This potential energy is released when the catapult is triggered, converting into kinetic energy as the projectile is launched.
