On earth the weight an height of an object give an object what type of potential energy?
Gravitational energy
What is potential energy called that depends on height?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
What form of energy is associated with the position of an object in Earth's gravitional field?
Potential energy
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.
How does gravitational potential energy of an object increase?
On Earth, Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) would increase with an increasing altitude.
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is?
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is potential energy.
When you lift an object off the ground how are you changing its energy?
You are changing the object's gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to position of the object above the Earth. This energy has the potential to be transformed into Kinetic Energy if the object falls.
What is potential energy dependent an object's weight and distance from earth's surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
On earth the weight an height of an object give an object what type of potential energy?
Gravitational energy
What potential energy occurs because an object is above the surface of the earth?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
What is potential energy called that depends on height?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
What is the significance of negative energy of electron in an orbit?
Potential energy levels are often given as negative numbers. In the case of an electron, it's potential energy due to its location relative to the positively charged nucleus; the further away from the nucleus, the higher the energy level of the electron. So for convenience, physicists like to define potential energy levels at infinite distance (or separation) as "zero", and all others become negative. Since these forces (gravity, electromagnetic force) fall off with the square of distance, potential energies at finite (nonzero) distances aren't "negative infinity".

The type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from Earth's surface?
gravitational potential energy
What is potential energy depended on?
The potential energy of a mechanical object in relation to gravity is dependent on the mass of the object, and the height of the object above the earth. Generally represented by this equation: PE=mgh
