Place it at a higher altitude, wind it up, fill it with fuel, etc.

When you lift an object energy is transferred to an object which gives the object?

When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.


How does energy change from potenial energy to kinetic energy?

A object falling form a height, h. At h it has graventational potential energy and when it starts to fall this energy tranferes into kenetic.ability toput mass of any sort into a motion of accelleration therefore resulting in having potential of producing kenetic energy into said mass


How would doubling the height of an object change the object's potential energy?

Also double since potential energy is the energy stored in a body due it's position.


What term is defined as energy stored in an object as result of a change in its position?

That is called potential energy.


Why when you push an object across a desk is the work done not equal to the change in gravitational potential energy?

The gravitational potential energy does not change if the desk is horizontal. The work done is in overcoming the friction between the object and the desk.


How does an object get gravitational potential energy?

What happens to the potential energy of an object if the mass is halved?

I assume you mean the gravitational potential energy. This is proportional to the mass, so if you change the mass by a factor of "a", the gravitational potential energy will change by the same factor of "a".


How do you calculate change in potential energy?

more often than not, potential energy is calculated, not measured, based on which means of energy conversion you are looking for. Potential energy released by falling is not the same as potential energy of a nuclear reaction, although the same object can do both


When Bruce lets go of the weight what happens to its energy?

When an object falls down, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.


What kind of energy does potential energy change into?

If an object falls down, potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy (energy of movement). However, if an object drifts down slowly - say, a feather falling in air, or an object that falls down in water - the energy will be immediately converted to heat energy.
