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.

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.


Does a park bench have kinetic or potential energy?

A park bench typically has potential energy because it is stationary and not in motion. Potential energy is stored energy based on the position of an object, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

What happens to kinectic energy when height increases?

As height increases, potential energy increases while kinetic energy decreases. This is because some of the kinetic energy is being converted into potential energy due to the increase in gravitational potential energy at higher heights.

Is nuclear energy potential energy or kinectic energy?

Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.

Is geothermal potential or kinetic energy?

Geothermal energy is a form of potential energy. It is stored in the Earth's heat, which is generated from the decay of radioactive isotopes and the heat left over from the planet's formation.
