Can an object gain more energy?
Sure, you can add energy to an object. For example, you can heat an object up (to have it gain heat energy), you can raise it (to have it gain gravitational potential energy), or you can make it move (to have it gain kinetic energy). In each case, the energy has to come from somewhere.
Can an object to gain mechanical energy from another without touching it?
it can but only if there is somthing in between it. If the cannot be connected in any way, no.
How do objects gain energy?
An object can gain kinetic energy by accelerating or gravitic energy by increasing height, among other things.
What energy conversions occur in a pole vaulter?
When the pole vaulter just passes over the bar, he/she is almost stationary, and certainly at the maximum height reached above the ground, so apart from a very small amount of kinetic energy as a result of passing over the bar, all the energy put into the vault is bound up in gravitational potential energy. During the approach, the jumper runs up so has acquired kinetic energy. Then during the vault he/she exerts force on the pole to gain height, and to convert the horizontal kinetic energy into a vertical direction. This force comes from the chemistry of the muscles of the body. So the overall conversion is from kinetic energy plus muscular chemical energy into gravitational potential energy, which is then converted back to kinetic energy on the descent.
How does a substance gain thermal energy?
substances can gain thermal energy by heating them or applying electric shocks
Does weight gain occur when intake of food and output of energy are the same?
no
Does photosynthesis not occur in absence of light?
Photosynthesis would not occur because plants need sunlight in order to live. Sunlight is converted into the chemical energy that plants can use for growing, reproduction, etc. Without light, plants can't gain enough energy.
How do foxes gain energy?
They gain energy by eating food.
Do objects gain energy when they are hot?
No, objects that gain energy become hotter.
Can an object gain more energy?

What is the baisic objective of rugby?
To gain possession of the ball and score more tries/conversions or penalty points that your opponent
How volcanoes gain more energy?
Volcanoes gain energy from the hot magma inside it
Can an object to gain mechanical energy from another without touching it?
it can but only if there is somthing in between it. If the cannot be connected in any way, no.
Do hurricanes gain energy?
Yes. Hurricanes gain energy from moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. A hurricane could never develop if it were unable to gain energy.
What are ways bacteria gain energy?
Bacteria can gain energy through processes like photosynthesis (using light to create energy), chemosynthesis (using inorganic compounds to create energy), and fermentation (breaking down organic compounds without oxygen). These processes allow bacteria to produce ATP, the cell's energy currency, to carry out essential functions.
Does gas lose or gain thermal energy in condensation?
When condensation occurs, it is a gain thermal energy.
What are two ways in which atoms can gain energy so that their electrons move to a higher energy level?
methods in which an atom can gain energy
