when you begin to slide down a slide, kinetic energy is converted into energy of motion?

(The total energy) = (kinetic energy) +(potential energy)\n\nAt the start, most of the energy is potential energy. \n\nAs you slide down, then the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases. \n\nThere is some energy dissipated by friction, that turns into heat. But without friction, the total energy at the bottom of the slide is the same as it was at the top of the slide.

Please take the time to\nvote for the best answer\n\nThank You!!\n\nRecall that an object of a certain mass moving with particular speed will have an associated kinetic energy  mass x speed2. An object spinning about an axis will also have associated with it a kinetic energy, composed of the kinetic energies of each individual part of the object. These individual contributions may be summed up to give an expression for the total kinetic energy of the spinning object: \n\nLook this up for more

Mechanical energy basically consists of potential and kinetic energy.  Potential energy is "captured" energy that is ready to be released.  Kinetic energy is energy a body possesses as a result of its motion.\n\nEveryday objects are made of atoms and molecules.  Atoms have electrical charges.  Electrical charges repel or attract each other.  It has been theorized that because of this, when objects interact with each other, they transfer mechanical energy and react to one another due to the electrical attraction or repulsion.  \n\nRead the wikipedia entry on mechanical energy.  It really is quite interesting.\n\nHave fun!

Potential & Kinetic are the 2 types of energy. Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object. If you stretch a rubber band, you will give it potential energy. As the rubber band is released, potential energy is changed to motion. Kinetic energy is energy of motion. A rubber band flying through the air has kinetic energy. When you are walking or running your body is exhibiting kinetic energy. Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.

It would end up as heat. At least that is the usual place you say all the energy went when you can't otherwise account for it. Like where does the energy go when you drop a bean bag on the ground? Yell out loud? Turn on a light? slow your fall with a parachute? And on and on and on.

gravitational potential energy increases with altitued and the stregth of gravity\n\n\n\nwhile work is done, potential energy is converted into kinetic

Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * mass * velocity^2\n\nKinetic Energy = 0.5 * 4000kg * (3m/s)^2\n\nKinetic Energy = 18,000 Joules

Kinetic Energy:\n\nKinetic energy (SI unit: the joule) is energy that a body possesses as a result of its motion. It is formally defined as the work needed to accelerate a body from rest to its current velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes. Negative work of the same magnitude would be required to return the body to a state of rest from that speed.\n\nIn simple cases, this work (and thus the kinetic enrgy) is equal to:\n\n    Ek =.5(M*(V^2))\nwhere m is the object's mass and v is the object's velocity.

If you take a ball and hold it out at arms length, it has potential energy. This energy is being held back by your hand and once you release the ball, gravity turns that potential energy into kinetic energy (movement) and makes it hit the floor.

Kinetic energy.\n\nGreek kntikos, from kntos, moving, from knein, to move.

Meaning moving continually with no additional force needed to overcome frictional or other energy losses.\n\nNo.  It violates the laws of thermodynamics for some process to occur without an energy loss.  If you don't add energy to a system, eventually it will run out of energy.

Conservation of energy and of momentum are different things. Momentum is always conserved in a collision. \n\nIf the collision is perfectly elastic, kinetic energy is also conserved. Billiard balls are very nearly perfect. (I guess nothing is exactly perfect in this world.)

Well a very very simplistic demonstration could be shown on a pool table.\n\nIf you shoot the cue ball at a stationary ball (let's call it the 8 ball) across the table, the cue ball has Kinetic Energy, where as, the 8 ball has only potential energy.  \n\nWhen the cue ball collides with the 8 ball, the kinetic energy will transfer from the cue ball to the 8 ball, sending the 8 ball in motion.  Now that the 8 ball is in motion it has Kinetic energy which is a change of form.  \n\nThe Law of Conservation of energy says that energy cannot be created.  So what does that mean?  It means that if the 8 ball is now in motion, it took energy from the cue ball, which means that the cue ball has now lost energy, and will be traveling slower, and if they hit at the right spot (since they are approximately equal in mass) the cue ball can even come to a complete stop upon collision.\n\nHope I didn't lose you!\n\n~~Tyler\n\n\nAlso, an easier example would be a monkey falling out of a tree.\n\nIf the monkey is sitting down eating a banana on the highest branch, he has Potential energy.  If he reaches for another banana and it's just out of his reach and he slips off of the branch, his potential energy is now being converted into kinetic energy.\n\nHopefully theres a pile of leaves on the ground.

kinetic energy is: the energy of a moving object. the formula for this is 1/2*mass*velocity^2 in symbols 1/2*m*v^2\nFormul description: the work needed to accelerate a body from rest to its current velocity\n\nLight enegry: I've never heard of light energy before now if ur talking about the brightestness of the bulb than that is called luminosity a buy product of lighting sources is also heat energy, transfer of light is also done by photons you could say these carry the light energy.\n\nPotential energy: is energy which depends on mutual positions of bodies. The energy is defined as a work against a specific force such as gravity, an elastic force of a spring in a clockwork motor, electric force, etc (and is usually named after that specific force).\n\nchemical energy: Is a form of potential energy due to the breaking and forming of chemical bonds.\n\nGravitational potential energy:  the potential energy per unit mass of an object due to its position in a gravitational field.\n\nHope this helps

Not always. If the object is in motion, then no. The total energy, aka total mechanical energy is always constant due to the Law of Conservation and Energy. It depends on the problem. Certainly,if you know the total mechanical energy in the system than you can find a variable for the kinetic energy or gravitational potential energy,assuming you given other variables.
