How can Gravitational Potential energy be transformed?
If a body with gravitational potential energy is allowed to fall, then the potential energy is converted (mostly) to kinetic energy.
What is an example of gravitational energy transforming to mechanical energy?
Gravitational potential energy IS mechanical energy. Mechanical energy includes both kinetic energy, and potential energy.When an object falls, gravitational potential energy will be converted to KINETIC energy.
Does speed affect gravitational potential energy of an object?
Does speed 'effect' the gravitational potential energy of an object? No, but gravitational potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy - so the gravitational potential energy can effect the speed. Ep = mgh Energy Potential = mass * 9.81 (gravity) * height Speed / Velocity is absent from that equation.
What energy does an apple hanging from a tree have?
chemical energy
What energy is created from a gravitational field?
Gravitational potential energy (often abbreviated to GE) which is then converted to kinetic energy when somebody falls.

How can Kenetic energy be affected by Gravitational potential energy?
Not directly; the two are independent. But if an object with gravitational potential energy falls, that energy may be converted to kinetic energy.

What happens to the gravitational potential energy as the pendulum starts back up towards its highest point?
The pendulum's momentum or kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy until all of the kinetic energy is converted. The pendulum stops.
As an object falls the gravitational potential energy of the object is converted to what?
Some of its potential energy changes to kinetic energy.

Gravitational potential energy (often abbreviated to GE) which is then converted to kinetic energy when somebody falls.
When a ball begins to fall Gravitational Potential Energy is converted to what type of energy?
Kinetic energy
How do you get potential energy?
If you are standing anywhere where you could fall you have gravitational potential energy. i.e. If you are in a ladder you have potential energy. Irvine ladder breaks and you fall this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What energy conversion is it when domino's fall?
The same as when anything falls. Gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
When a boy climbs steps what happened to his potential energy?
If he climbs up the stairs, his potential energy will increase.
