A toy truck falls off a table. As it falls, the toy truck has potential energy and kinetic energy.

Explain how the toy truck can have potential and kinetic energy at the same time.

It would have potential energy because it has the potential to be falling at a faster rate. There are things that factor in such as falling speed and gravity as well which gives it the potential to fall at a faster rate. It also has kinetic energy because it is already in the motion of Falling down so it has that energy that would be the impact when it hits the ground. It can have both at the same time because it is already in motion with kinetic energy and it has the potential to fall at a faster rate.

As the toy falls off a table, it can have potential and kinetic energy at the same time because of the height (h) and velocity (v) of the object, respectively.

When the truck falls off a table it has potential energy (P) and kinetic energy (K) given by:

[tex] P = mgh [/tex]   (1)

[tex] K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} [/tex]   (2)

Where:

m: is the mass of the toy

g: is the acceleration due to gravity

h: is the height of the table

v: is the velocity of the toy

Kinetic energy (equation 2) is related to the velocity (v) of the moving toy while it is falling from the table.

Potential energy (equation 1) is due to the gravitational acceleration (g) exerted on the toy when it is at a height (h) above the table. This energy decreases as the object approaches the ground (where "h" is zero).

Therefore, the truck can have potential and kinetic energy at the same time because of the height and velocity of the toy, respectively.
