Gliders use potential energy from being launched into the air using a tow plane or being released from a high point. They also use any rising air currents such as thermals, ridge lift, or wave lift to stay aloft and maintain their flight.

How do gliders transformed potential energy into Kinetic energy?

Gliders transform potential energy into kinetic energy by converting the energy stored in their altitude into forward motion as they descend. As the glider descends, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, propelling the glider forward. The air flowing over the wings generates lift, allowing the glider to stay aloft and glide.

How are hang gliders used on space?

Hang gliders are not used in space. They rely on Earth's atmosphere for lift and are designed to be used in the planet's atmosphere. In space, spacecraft use thrusters and other propulsion systems for movement and control.


What is the name of A vessel powered by 1 or more engines using thermal energy?

All gliders are powered by one engine(the sun) and use the thermal energy from that engine to maintain flight. They need assistance to get into the air usually, but can stay up all day.

If two gliders of equal mass and equal and opposite initial velocity collide perfectly elastically what are the final velocities of the gliders in terms of the initial velocities?

The final velocities of the gliders after a perfectly elastic collision will also be equal and opposite to their initial velocities. This is due to the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy in elastic collisions.
