Does a sock lying on a dresser have more or less potential energy than a skateboard on the floor?

same you could slip on the skateboard and knock over the dresser and the sock could fall in your mouth and suffocate you.


Does a sock lying on a dresser have more or less potential energy than a skakeboard on the floor?

What is the potential energy when a 5 kg box is lifted 3 m from the floor?

The potential energy is 147 joules.


How many joules of potential energy does 10 kg box have that is 1 m from the floor?

This box has potential energy of 98 Joules.


What happens to the energy In a ball when it drops to the floor?

The potential energy starts decreasing. It gets converted into kinetic energy.


A car is lifted a certain distance in a service station and therefore has a potential energy relative to the floor If it were lifted twice as high how much potential energy would it have?

The same amount of potential energy again.


Which mass has the greatest gravitational potential energy with respect to the floor?

The one that is at the greatest height above the floor level.


Is potential energy the same as energy being conserved?

Not really... Kinda? Potential energy is the total possible energy based on position. Ex: A rock on the floor will have less potential energy (since it's on the floor and it wont have energy since it's not moving), than a rock 100 meters in the air. (More potential energy since it will falling). Or a rubber band being pulled back has more potential energy than when its not pulled. Conserve means to save/store, and things cant really "store" energy.


Is kinetic energy a force motion or energy?

Kinetic energy is energy. It can be transformed to other types of energy. And as energy it can be applied to do work. If an elastic ball is dropped from a given height, it will develop kinetic energy at the expense of its potential energy. An instant before collision with the floor, its kinetic energy amounts to the original potential energy of the ball with respect to the floor. (if we can neglect air resistance).


How much kinetic energy does a book have just it hits the floor?

Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.


If A rubber ball is dropped on the floor what force causes it to bounce?

kinetic and potential energy.


Does a roller coaster have more potential energy at the top of the hill or at the bottom?

A roller coaster has more potential energy at the bottom. There are 2 types of energy, potential and kinetic. energy closer to a surface or floor is potential energy and objects in the middle of it all has kinetic energy.
