There is no "device" that is used to convert potential energy (PE) to kinetic energy (KE). PE is energy of position, for example, a Bowling ball held over your head has the potential of breaking your foot if it were to fall. KE is energy of motion, for example, the energy the bowling ball has as it is falling toward your foot. The amount of PE the bowling ball had when it was motionless at some height above your head is approximately equal to the amount of KE the bowling ball has just before it lands on your foot.
What else can I help you with?
How can kinetic energy be effectively stored?
Kinetic energy can be effectively stored by converting it into potential energy through methods such as lifting weights, compressing springs, or spinning flywheels. This potential energy can then be released as kinetic energy when needed.
What claim can you make about the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy?
The relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy is that they are both forms of energy that can be converted into each other. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that can be released to become kinetic energy. The total energy of a system remains constant, with potential energy converting to kinetic energy and vice versa.
What energy decreases from a falling fruit?
The potential energy of the fruit decreases as it falls due to gravity converting potential energy into kinetic energy.
Is energy stored in gasoline is an example of kinetic energy?
No, energy stored in gasoline is an example of potential energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, while potential energy is stored energy that has the potential to do work. Gasoline must be burned to release the energy stored within it, converting it into kinetic energy.
Is cycling kinetic or potential energy?
Cycling involves both kinetic and potential energy. When you are pedaling, you are converting the potential energy stored in your muscles into kinetic energy to move the bike forward. Additionally, the potential energy stored in the height of the cyclist and the bike can also be converted into kinetic energy when riding downhill.
Elastic energy is the total potential and kinetic energy in a system?
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
What is an example of converting kinetic energy into potential energy?
Throwing a ball into the air.
How does an elastic power car work?
Elastic cars work by converting elastic potential energy into kinetic energy. The most potential energy, the more kinetic energy.
Two examples of potential energy converted to kinetic energy?
A pendulum hanging still at its highest point (potential energy) is released, converting its potential energy to kinetic energy as it swings back and forth. An object held above the ground (potential energy) is dropped, converting its potential energy to kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground.
How can kinetic energy be effectively stored?
Kinetic energy can be effectively stored by converting it into potential energy through methods such as lifting weights, compressing springs, or spinning flywheels. This potential energy can then be released as kinetic energy when needed.
What device can change kinetic energy into potential energy?
Any ramp can.
A squirrel running up a tree and sitting on a branch shows what kind of energy conversation (apex)?
Kinetic energy becoming potential energy.

What is a device that uses electromagnetic induction to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy?
Electrical generator: A device for converting mechanical (kinetic) energy into electrical energy.
