Is gravitational energy kinetic?
Gravitational energy is the potential energyassociated with the gravitational field.
Why is gravitational potential energy equal to kinetic ebergy?
Gravitational potential energy is not equal to kinetic energy:MGY doesn't always equal (1/2)mv2. This holds true in the CHANGE of gravitational potential energy being equal to the CHANGE in kinetic energy because of the Law of Conservation of Energy, Mass, and Charge.
What device changes gravitational potential to kinetic energy?
The free fall of the object in gravitational field changes its gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
Where does the water have its maximum kinetic energy and minimum gravitational energy?
At the bottom of a waterfall.
As a planet approaches perihelion does it potential energy increase or decrease?
At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum. The sum of kinetic + potential energy, of course, remains constant.At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum.

An avalanche demonstrates what kind of energy conversion?
Gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy
When a ball is throw straight up at what position is its kinetic energy at its maximum and at what position is gravitational potential energy at its maximum?
It's kinetic energy is highest when it is about half way to the top. The gravitational potential energy is highest when it is about to fall back down.
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
Gravitational energy Potential energy
Energy due to position is called?
kinetic kinetic
Thermal gravitational gravitational potential kinetic potential sound and mechanical energy is found in a saxophone?
thermal and gravitational and gravitational potential and kinetic and poential and sound and mechanical energy is found in a saxaphone.
What is an example of gravitational energy transforming to mechanical energy?
Gravitational potential energy IS mechanical energy. Mechanical energy includes both kinetic energy, and potential energy.When an object falls, gravitational potential energy will be converted to KINETIC energy.
Is gravitational energy an example of kinetic energy?
No. Gravitational energy is a type of potential energy.
What will happen to the potential and kinetic energy as the ball falls?
Gravitational potential energy increases; kinetic energy increases.
How can Gravitational Potential energy be transformed?
If a body with gravitational potential energy is allowed to fall, then the potential energy is converted (mostly) to kinetic energy.
What energy does an apple hanging from a tree have?
chemical energy
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
