TRUE or FALSE: an object can have only one kinetic energy or potential energy?

TRUE or FALSE: an object can have only one kinetic energy or potential energy?





Can you answer?TRUE or FALSE: an object can have only one kinetic energy or potential energy?
false.





can have more than one potential energy.





potential energy comes in many forms.





from height, springs, charges, etc





make it a good dayTRUE or FALSE: an object can have only one kinetic energy or potential energy?
False.





Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion. Potential energy is (generally) defined as the energy due to height above the ground (in a gravitational field and all that).





If you change the motion or the height, then the kinetic or potential energy will change, respectively.





Also, it's entirely possible for something to have kinetic and potential energy at the same time by being in motion AND off the ground. Airplanes are a perfect example of this.





Even if you want to restrict the discussion to one dimension (meaning only up and down and not considering the sideways [transverse] velocity a plane has), the consider an object that's falling. While it's falling, it's certainly moving up and down, but it's still not on the ground, so there's potential energy.
False on earth, and true in space.On earth an object can have a potential energy when elevated from its rest position, and a kinetic energy due to it motion.This is subject to ';Bernolli's'; equation, adding all forms of energy in a system, or object, and equalizing this to a constant.


In space we do not have potential energy in its simple definition, as we have to consider the required rest position of the object compared to all surrounding objects before we add it to kinetic energy, bearing in mind the mass variation relative to object's speed.
False. it can have both. however, at some points along an objects motion, there is only one energy-- If height is 0, PE is zero and if velocity is 0, then KE is zero
False





A falling object, say from a cliff, can have both kinetic and potential energy at any point other than the starting and ending point of its motion.
