What is an example of gravitational potential?
An apple hanging from a tree has gravitational potential energy...anything which could fall to the ground has gravitational potential energy
How could you increase the energy of an object resting on a desk?
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.
how could you increase the gravitational potential energy between yourself and earth?
With mass AND heigth
How do you get potential energy?
If you are standing anywhere where you could fall you have gravitational potential energy. i.e. If you are in a ladder you have potential energy. Irvine ladder breaks and you fall this potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Is anything that lifted off the ground has potential energy?
True. It has "potential energy", in that gravity could be used to convert that "potential" energy into actual kinetic energy.

Why is potential energy called potential energy is it because the energy is not released but could be soon?
Because of its potential to do work.

What energy does your body energy convert?
Your body could could convert chemical energy into potential, kinetic, or mechanical energy.
How could you increase the potentioal energy between yourself and earth?
You increase your gravitational potential energy relative to the Earth's surface when you get father away from it, like when you fly in an airplane, climb up a mountain, ride up in an elevator, or walk up some stairs. You also increase it when you stay where you are but you put on mass.
Is it possible to have more kinetic energy than potential energy?
No, because potential energy is the amount of energy that COULD be used, while kinetic energy is the amount of energy that IS being used.
Is an apple kinetic energy?
yes but its the citrus and acids in fruits that can produce electricity by sticking electrodes inside of the (try galvanized nails and copper strips)
What can be converted to energy?
Anything with potential difference could create the flow of energy. A potential difference could be electropotential, chemical potential or potential difference between high and low ground like energy from water fall. A potential difference can exist in the form of motion difference between a stationary and a moving objects.
What is chemical energy transformed to?
It could be transfered to sound, thermal, and potential energy.
