What is an non example for potential energy?
A non-example of potential energy would be kinetic energy. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position or condition, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Another non-example could be thermal energy, which is the energy related to the temperature of an object rather than its position or condition.
What characteristic is associated with potential energy rather than kinetic energy?
Position or height is a characteristic associated with potential energy rather than kinetic energy. The higher an object is positioned above the ground, the greater its potential energy.
Is thermal energy in a system primarily in the form of kinetic energy (KE) or potential energy (PE)?
In a system, thermal energy is primarily in the form of kinetic energy (KE) rather than potential energy (PE).
What is the difference between kinetic energy potential energy and mechanical energy?
Potential energy is energy that has the potential to be moved. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. eg. Potential energy could be like a fire extinguisher that is on the wall it has the potential to fall on the ground . An example of Kinetic energy is would be a moving car, it is in motion .
What happens to the potential energy an object loses if it is lowered so slowly that it gains almost no kinetic energy?
If the object is lowered slowly and gains little kinetic energy, the potential energy is mostly converted into other forms of energy, such as heat or sound, due to friction and air resistance. Therefore, the potential energy is dissipated as heat or other forms of energy rather than increasing the object's kinetic energy.
