Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.

Can an objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
The mechanical energy of a coconut falling from a tree A. gravitational potential energy B. Chemical potential enregy C. thermal energy D. mechnaical energy?
Objects that can fall have a gravitational potential energy! so the answer is A.
Can objects mechanical energy be equal to its gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
If there is no gravity Does potential energy of objects still exit Mechanical energy is produced by force. Gravity is a special force which is unlimited.Potential energy of objects is unlimited.?
If you leave earths gravitational field (sufficiently), objects will have a very negligible gravitational potential energy. You can consider it zero. But what if it were a compressed spring that you brought out into 'deep space'? It would still retain elastic potential energy. A bomb in deep space would still have explosive(?) potential energy. With that said, if you had two or more objects in deep space, they would have gravitational potential energy between the group of them, but not the earth.
If you multiply an objects weight by its height what value do it compute?
gravitational potential energy!!!!!!
How is gravitational potential energy useful?
it is the energy of position and most objects have gravitational potential energy, all they need is a height, and to NOT have a spring/elastic
What is related to an objects height?
Gravitational potential energy
What will happen if mechanical energy suddenly disappears?
It doesn't quite make sense for that to happen. Obviously it doesn't make sense from the point of view of energy conservation. Also, mechanical energy consists of kinetic energy - so all objects would suddenly have to stop moving. Mechanical energy also consists of potential energy (including gravitational potential energy), so all objects would suddenly have to be at the lowest possible gravitational potential - presumably, all objects in the Universe would have to come together into a black hole or something like that.
Potential energy related to an objects height?
Yes, it is based on both. Potential energy (gravitational potential energy, to be more precise) is simply the weight multiplied by the height.
What are the 10 forms of energy?
They are; Kinetic Energy (from moving objects), Gravitational Potential Energy (possessed by anything on a height), Elastic Potential Energy (possessed by squashed or stretched objects), Electrical, Magnetic, Mechanical, Heat/Thermal, Nuclear, Chemical, and Light.
6 Put the following objects in order of increasing gravitational potential energies?
They all have the same gravitational potential energies.
Which mass has more potential energy?
A more massive objects have a greater gravitational potential energy.
