As a planet approaches perihelion does it potential energy increase or decrease?
Kakumazone5
At perihelion, the planet is closer to the Sun, and moves faster, that means that the potential energy is at a minimum, and the kinetic energy at a maximum. The sum of kinetic + potential energy, of course, remains constant.

When a spring compresses does its kinetic energy increase?
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
How will the distance in an object move be related to it's original potential energy?
If it is moved upward, it's potential energy will increase. If it is moved lower, then it's potential energy will decrease.
If a potato core is allowed to dehydrate by sitting in the open air would the water potential of the potato cells increase or decrease and why?
The potato core would decrease because the water would leave the cells, causing the water potential to go down.
Do volcanic eruption increase or decrease the temperature of the earth?
increase
Is increase up or down?
Increase means to go up or get bigger in amount. Decrease means to go down or to get smaller in amount.
How does the increase or decrease of potential difference affect the flow of the electric current?
Increase or decrease in potential results in the change in direction of the flow of electric current.
Does potential energy decrease with height?
if the body is moving upward its potential energy would decrease as its kinetic energy would increase
When a spring compresses does its kinetic energy increase?
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
What will the Doppler effect cause the pitch of an object to do?
The pitch will increase if the object approaches, decrease if the object recedes.
When something goes up a hill does the potential energy increase or decrease?
It increases
Is there any way to increase or decrease the energy possessed by electrons?
You can increase or decrease the kinetic energy of electrons by accelerating or decelerating them, which you can do with an electric field or by collisions. You can increase or decrease the electrical potential energy of electrons by causing them to move to positions with lower or higher voltage. To a very small extent you can increase or decrease the gravitational potential energy of electrons by causing them to move up or down in a gravitational field.
How will the distance an object moves be related to it original potential energy?
If it is moved upward, it's potential energy will increase. If it is moved lower, then it's potential energy will decrease.
Would the water potential of a potato cell decrease or increase when it is allowed to dehydrate?
decreases it - no water then no water potential.
How will the distance in an object move be related to it's original potential energy?
If it is moved upward, it's potential energy will increase. If it is moved lower, then it's potential energy will decrease.
How does the addition of solutes affect water potential?
adding the solute raises the boiling point of the water.
When a puck falls it potential energy increase or decrease?
Kinetic energy
When cyclical unemployment increases does the gap between real GNP and potential GNP increase or decrease or stay the same?
increases
