it's still kinetic energy when it's in the air, MOVING, that's what kinetic energy is. But before it falls, let's say it's on the top of a hill or in someone's hand, it has potential energy.

What type of energy is involved when a ball is dropped?

When a ball is dropped, the energy involved is primarily gravitational potential energy being converted into kinetic energy as the ball accelerates towards the ground. When the ball hits the ground, some of this kinetic energy is transferred to the ground as impact energy.


What type of energy does a stationary ball have?

A stationary ball has potential energy due to its position relative to the ground.


What type of energy does a ball at rest have?

A ball at rest has potential energy due to its position relative to a reference point, such as the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy when the ball is in motion.


As a ball falls what type of energy decreases and what type of energy increases?

As a ball falls, its potential energy decreases as it converts to kinetic energy. As it moves closer to the ground, its kinetic energy increases at the expense of potential energy.


What type of energy does a ball have at the top of its arc?

The potential energy that gathered as the ball was ascending rapidly converts to kinectic energy as the ball falls downwards, at a rate of 9.801 meters/second squared.


What type of energy does a ball have when it falling through the air?

When a ball is falling through the air, it has both kinetic and potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is the energy stored due to the ball's position relative to the ground. As the ball falls, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.


What type of potential energy does a ball that your throwing and lifting and dropping what do they have in com men?

The ball possesses gravitational potential energy when it is being lifted and potential energy due to its position relative to the ground when it's being thrown. Both forms of potential energy are related to the ball's position relative to a reference point, such as the ground.


What type of energy is a golf ball hit?

if the golf ball is hit into the air, the forces on the golf ball are pushing (when the golf ball is hit) and air resistance (when it is flying through the air). when the ball hits the ground and starts to roll, the only force acting on it is friction.


What type of energy is transfered as a bat hits a ball?

You transfer energy[chemical] from your body to the bat[kinetic] to attack the ball. No energy is lost, but some heat is. It is the same as the Law of Conservation of matter. Hope this helps! =D


As a baseball flies through the air after being hit what type of energy does it have?

The Ball has energy in the form of potential energy as if it was released it would fall to the ground. The pitcher uses chemical energy to move his arm and give momentum to the ball. The ball's energy is now transformed to kinetic energy as it moves through the air.


What type of energy change takes place when a ball is thrown up?

When ball is in the hand, it possesses internal energy. We give it kinetic energy when we throw it up and its kinetic energy decreases as it gains height.The kinetic energy turns to gravitational potential energy which reaches its maximum when it reaches its highest point. At that point the ball stops and then it falls.Its gravitational energy turns to kinetic energy as it falls. When it falls, its some energy turns to heat energy.When the balls hits the ground sound energy is produced and heat is given. The final energy which the body possesses is internal energy.


What type of energy does a moving ball have?

A moving ball has kinetic energy, which is energy associated with its motion.
