Explain how, if two vases are side by side on a shelf, one could have more potential energy?
S390-Katine Albious
If two vases are side by side on a shelf, one vase could have more potential energy if it is positioned higher than the other vase relative to the ground. This difference in potential energy arises from the gravitational potential energy of each vase. Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's weight (mass) and its height above the ground.
So, if one vase is placed higher on the shelf, it will have more gravitational potential energy because it has a greater height above the ground compared to the other vase. This means that if the higher vase were to fall, it would travel a greater distance due to its higher starting point, and gravity would do more work on it during the fall, resulting in more potential energy stored in the higher vase.

Do a stretched spring and a box on a high shelf both have potential energy why or why not explain you answer?
yes because is more
If to vases are side-by-side on a shelf how could one have more potential energy?
IF the shelf is horizontal and both vases are absolutely identical, they will both have the same potential energy. However if they are different, then the vase that has the most mass will have more potential energy.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf what changes?
Gravitational potential energy
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
What energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
The potential energy of the book on the shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. This is because the potential energy of an object at a certain height is equivalent to the work done against gravity to lift it to that height.
What energy is a book on a shelf?
Potential Energy If it falls, it will then be subject of gravity, so it has the potential of becoming energetic. -------------------- The bookshelf could also catch fire and the book would release energy as heat.
Why does a book on a high shelf have more potential energy than on a low shelf?
Since potential energy equals mgh. When h, height increases potential energy also increases. If h is 0 then p.e is 0/
A trophy sitting on a shelf demonstrates energy?
potential
When an object is moved from the bottom shelf to the top shelf its gravitational potential energy has?
Increased
How can you the amount of potential energy in a book sitting on a bookshelf?
Place it on a higher shelf. If it has to stay on the same shelf, then its potential energy can only be increased by adding some pages to it.
What kind of energy does a book on shelf have?
It has mechanical energy. The exact type of energy is potential.
How if two vases are side by on a shelf one could have more potential energy?
because of the mass
