How were you able to increase the amount of potential energy the ball had?

As we increase the altitude of the ball the potential energy increases.


How can you increase gravitational potential energy?

Potential gravitational energy is pretty theoretic, but exists as potential. So a ball sitting on the floor has little to no potential energy as it is as low as possible, but put that ball on a table, its potential energy increases. So the answer is to place things higher, on a surface of a sort. Mass and height


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 type of energy does sitting use?

potential


What will happen if you increase the mass of an object what will the potential energy do?

If you increase the mass of an object, the potential energy will increase.


Which would cause the potential evaporation and transpiration to increase in a given month?

higher amount of solar energy.


What does potential energy depend on to increase?

Potential Energy depends on mass and height to increase(: Hope that helps.MassHeight


What type of energy does a pebble sitting on the top of a mountain have?

It has potential energy.


How does elevation effect potential energy due to gravity?

Increase in potential energy = weight x increase in height


What affects potential?

Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.


A trophy sitting on a shelf demonstrates energy?

What form of energy is a bolder sitting on a cliff?

The type of energy of a boulder sitting on a cliff is potential energy. Potential energy is possible energy as opposed to actual energy. If it were to start rolling down the hill, the energy would change to kinetic energy.
