Not directly; the two are independent. But if an object with gravitational potential energy falls, that energy may be converted to kinetic energy.

What energy does an object possess because of its position in a gravitational field?

That is called gravitational potential energy. When no confusion is possible, it might just be called "potential energy", although there are other types of potential energy, such as the potential energy in an electrical or magnetic field.


Does kenetic energy exceed Gravitational potential energy?

Yes, in most cases kinetic energy exceeds gravitational potential energy because kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object, while gravitational potential energy is associated with the height of an object in a gravitational field. As an object moves, it typically gains kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy decreases.


What type of energies are there?

There is Light, Kinetic, Gravitational Potential, Sound, Electrical, Chemical, Heat, and Elastic energy.

What factor affects gravitational potential energy?

Gravitational potential energy is affected by an object's mass, the acceleration due to gravity, and the height at which the object is located. As the mass or height increases, gravitational potential energy also increases.


What is Potential energy that exists when an object is affected by this gravity and magnetism are examples of this?

The type of potential energy you are describing is gravitational potential energy. It is energy stored in an object based on its position in a gravitational field. Magnetism does not typically contribute to this type of potential energy.


What type of energy is heatkinetic or potential energy?

kenetic is energy in motion and potential energy is energy that is stored.


The kinetic and potential energy of particles of a substance?

Is ATP kenetic energy?

No, ATP represents potential energy.


Difference between potential and kenetic energy?

Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position or state (e.g. gravitational potential energy). Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion. Potential energy can be transformed into kinetic energy and vice versa.


When you walk then stop is that potential energy?

No, kenetic energy is while your walking , then when u stop you have potential energy to walk forword. So it is kenetic even when you stop just not when you are stoped.
