When a moving object comes to a halt, it simply means that the energy that set it moving in the first place has run out. In other words there is no more kinetic energy available to cause the object to move.

Remember that for every action there is an opposite but equal reaction.

If you push a cart forward, you are applying a measurable force that moves the object, but as soon as you stop pushing the cart, then gravity, air resistance etc will counteract the momentum and eventually the cart, if on a level surface, will stop

A stationary truck has potential energy, which is energy that is stored in an object due to its position or configuration.


What happens during an elastic collision with a stationary object?

During an elastic collision with a stationary object, the object will bounce back with the same speed and energy as the incoming object, without any loss of kinetic energy.


Whitch energy is it when energy caused by an object's vibration?

The energy caused by an object's vibration is known as mechanical energy. It can exist in the form of potential energy (stored energy) when the object is stationary, and kinetic energy (energy of motion) when the object is vibrating.

When gravity is pulling on something does the something have kinetic energy?

The object can be stationary and have gravity pulling on it ergo no kinetic energy


When are an objects potential energy and kinetic energy equal?

When an object is stationary in a plane, (no hill or slope) then potential energy and kinetic energy are equal. Following the case, if an object is stationary at the top of a hill, it has stored energy (potential energy) due to gravitational attraction, as the force of gravity attracts the object towards the ground and once the object gets some kind of motion, all those potential energy will change to kinetic energy. **************************** Actually, the Object CAN be moving, but it is moving Parallel to its Reference Frame, and at a Constant Velocity.


When does an object have no kenetic energy?

An object has no kinetic energy when it is at rest or stationary, meaning it is not moving. Kinetic energy is the energy associated with an object in motion, so if the object is not moving, it does not possess any kinetic energy.


Does stationary body possess potential energy?

Yes, a stationary body can possess potential energy. Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or configuration and can be stored in various forms such as gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, or chemical potential energy.


What object has low kinetic energy?

An object at rest or moving very slowly typically has low kinetic energy. For example, a stationary rock or a snail moving slowly would have low kinetic energy.

When an object is seen moving in relation to a stationary object the stationary object is calle the?

The stationary object is known as a frame of reference. The earth is a common frame of reference for humans.
