What happen to the kinetic energy of a falling book when the book hits the floor?

when book is dropped from the height its kinetic goes on increasing and the sudden stop to the book when it touches the ground all the kinetic energy of the book is converted into potential energy of the book which helps the book to be stable after the impact, in short when the book hits the ground kinetic energy is converted to potential energy due to law conservation of energy.

∙ 15y agoI"m not sure why this question is here instead of Physics, but a book on a table has potential energy. The book falling off the table (i.e., in motion) has kinetic energy.

What happens to kinetic energy of a falling book when the book hits the floor?
turns into vibration and heat energy.
How much kinetic energy does a book have just it hits the floor?
Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.
What energy change take place when a plate drop on floor?
The kinetic energy of the falling plate is used up in smashing the plate along with some energy converted to noise (sound energy).
How does the falling mango change it's energy conversion?
Well. I'm no physicist. BUT. I think its potential energy, which then changes to gravitational energy. OR. Its a mango. When it falls. It hits the floor. And smashes. What a waste of a mango.
Does a roller coaster have more potential energy at the top of the hill or at the bottom?
A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.
What force makes the pen droke onto the floor from rolling off the desk?
First, the pen rolling would be kinetic energy and then the overall process of it falling onto the floor would be gravity.
Is kinetic energy a force motion or energy?
Kinetic energy is energy. It can be transformed to other types of energy. And as energy it can be applied to do work. If an elastic ball is dropped from a given height, it will develop kinetic energy at the expense of its potential energy. An instant before collision with the floor, its kinetic energy amounts to the original potential energy of the ball with respect to the floor. (if we can neglect air resistance).
What form energy is used when a person pushes a wooden block across the floor?
Friction is produced and kinetic energy is used
What is the main form of energy of a ball moving across the floor?
kinetic energy
Which energy transformation that takes place when a ball is dropped to the floor?
Kinetic Energy
Why does a bulb produce sound when breaks?
When an object falls to the floor and breaks, some of the kinetic energy imparted to the object by its falling is converted into vibrations of the surrounding air as it is stopped abruptly by the floor. You hear these vibrations of the air as sound.
Does a book sitting on a self have potential energy?
its physics term for the fact that it is not in motion (kinetic energy) but it is above the ground, so at any moment it could "potentially" have kinetic energy by falling to the floor.
