What is potential energy on the surface of the earth?
There is no absolute measure for potential energy. The calculation for potential energy depends on the chosen reference level. Quite often, the Earth's surface is chosen as the reference level - in this case, an object on the surface will have zero potential energy.
On earth the weight an height of an object give an object what type of potential energy?
The weight and height of an object on Earth give it gravitational potential energy. This type of potential energy is based on the object's position in a gravitational field relative to the surface of the Earth.
What is potential energy dependent an object's weight and distance from earth's surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
Is absolute potential energy max or min on the surface of earth?
1. There is no such thing as absolute potential energy. There is only a difference in potential energy. Any "absolute" level is an arbitrary definition. 2. An object on the surface of the Earth has less energy than one that is higher up, but more than an object that is below the Earth's surface.
Is potential energy on the surface of earth is always zero?
That depends on what reference level you have chosen. If the (arbitrary) reference level you chose is Earth's surface, then anything on the Earth's surface has zero potential energy. If you choose some higher reference level, an object on Earth's surface has a negative potential energy. If you choose a lower reference level, an object on Earth's surface would have a positive potential energy.
What potential energy occurs because an object is above the surface of the earth?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possessesdue to its position related to earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy is: m*g*h m=mass g=acceloration due to gravity h=height in relation to zero level/energy because earth's surface (with rare exception) is zero level/energy, meaning that you cant make things fall further than the surface of earth; the potential energy of an object changes based on how much distance you put between the surface and the object, yes.
What is the potential on the surface of the earth?
There is no absolute measure for potential energy. The calculation for potential energy depends on the chosen reference level. Quite often, the Earth's surface is chosen as the reference level - in this case, an object on the surface will have zero potential energy.
What two factor's determind how much gravitational potential energy is an object?
mass and distance between the object and earth's surface.
Why gravitational potential at earth surface is zero?
The gravitational potential at Earth's surface is considered to be zero as it is the reference point from which gravitational potential energy is measured. Any object at Earth's surface has the potential to fall due to gravity, and this potential energy is typically defined as zero at Earth's surface for convenience in calculations.
The type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from Earth's surface?
gravitational potential energy
As an object approaches the Earth's surface what will its acceleration be?
As an object approaches the Earth's surface, what will its acceleration be?
