There are different types of energy. You can increase the gravitational potential energy by raising the object. You can increase its thermal energy by heating it up.

When you work on an object you increase the what of the object?

It could be many things, possibly energy, or even value, or even the probability of it breaking.


What is the energy transferred by a force to a moving object.?

It could be an increase or decrease in its kinetic energy, or simply a change in the direction of motion.


Does increasing energy increase speed?

Energy may be related to speed - in this case, it's called kinetic energy. However, please note that kinetic energy also depends on an object's mass. Also, there are many other types of energy - it is quite possible to add energy to an object without changing its speed.

How can a trucks kinetic energy can be increased without increasing its speed?

Drive alongside it in another vehicle and then move stuff onto the truck. This will increase the mass of the [whole] truck and so increase its KE. This is dangerous so do not try it!


What happens to the amount of kinetic energy a moving object has as the mass of the object increases?

Well, first of all, it's pretty tough to increase the mass of a moving object. The question is fascinating. The quick, easy, and totally wrong answer is: The kinetic energy increases. In order for that to happen mathematically, the speed would have to remain constant. But in order for that to happen, the kinetic energy would have to increase, and unless the moving object has some kind of gas engine, rocket, or rubber-band drive aboard it, there's no way for its kinetic energy to increase. So if an object is zipping along, and it doesn't have rockets on it, and somehow its mass increases ... you still haven't explained how you could do that ... then it's speed must decrease, because there's no place for it to get any more kinetic energy from.


Describe the change in kinetic energy when the temperature of an object increases?

The more an objects kinetic energy increases the more it's temperature increases. An object that is traveling at 30 miles per hour will have a higher temperature than an object traveling at 10 miles per hour. This is in part due to friction. Mostly however, it is due to the fact that kinetic energy excites atoms in the object raising the objects temperature. You could put it like this: temperature = energy + atoms. Hope this helps.


Other names for normal force that opposes gravity?

Another name for the normal force could be the force perpindicular to the surface an object is resting on.


What happens when an object absorbs some of light's frequencies and reflects other's?

The light wave could be absorbed by the object, in which case its energy is converted to heat. The light wave could be reflected by the object. And the light wave could be transmitted by the object. ...

Kinetic energy increases as?

Kinetic energy increases as speed or mass increases, or as potential energy decreases.Velocity increases(The kinetic energy of an object would also increase as its mass increases, but this doesn't usually happen.)


What object in a classroom changes electrical energy into mechanical energy?

Basically any device that needs to be plugged in so it could move would be an object that endures the transformation from mechanical to electrical energy. Those classroom objects could be a fan or a pencil sharpener.
