Can kinetic energy and potential energy both increase when a gas filled balloon is rising in air?
Yes. energy is increasing inside the balloon causing it to rise in the air. Therefore, kinetic and potential energy is constantly increasing as the balloon floats higher.
Is pulling a wagon uphill an example of increasing potential energy?
Yes, the gravitational potential energy is increased. The potential energy in joules is equal to mgh (mass * gravity * height), so increasing the height increases this energy.
What is the result of increasing the temp of a gas?
The kinetic energy will increase
How does the position of an object affect potential energy?
The position of an object affects its gravitational potential energy (or GPE) because GPE is calculated by multiplying mass by the value for gravity (on Earth it's 9.81) and the objects height. The higher up an object is the more potential energy it will have because it has farther to fall.
When a spring compresses does its kinetic energy increase?
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
How does gravitational potential energy of an object increase?
On Earth, Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) would increase with an increasing altitude.
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.
How does increasing speed affect potential energy?
Increasing the speed will increase the KINETIC energy, not the potential energy. Of course, the potential energy may eventually be converted into kinetic energy, for example if the object moves upwards.
Book on a shelf potential or kinetic energy?
Carry it up a cliff. ************************** Increase the height of the object or increase the mass.
Can kinetic energy and potential energy both increase when a gas filled balloon is rising in air?
Yes. energy is increasing inside the balloon causing it to rise in the air. Therefore, kinetic and potential energy is constantly increasing as the balloon floats higher.
Can you add thermal energy to an object without increasing its temperature?
yes-increase its mass
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!
Will mass affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mass is one of the variables (mass, gravity and height) for which gravitational potential energy is the product (meaning the multiplication of), so increasing mass will increase the gravitational potential energy in direct proportion.
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.
The weight and height of an object give an object what type of potential energy?
Basically, potential energy is increased by either an increase in mass, height, or both. As an object is more massive, it has the potential to do more work. As an object is higher up, it has the potential to do more work because it will have a higher velocity at the moment of impact. This is also seen in the definition of potential energy, which is Epotential = M(Ag)H. As shown, increasing either mass (M) or height (H) or both will increase the potential energy. The potential energy is completely related to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy = .5MV2. Increasing mass will directly increase kinetic energy. Height is a little different. The V is velocity, which increases as the object is falling inwards due to gravitational acceleration. Basically, an increase in mass results in an increase in kinetic energy. Initial height does not matter unless the object is moving downwards towards the center of gravity.
How do you increase the kinetic energy of a ball without increasing its mass?
you apply a force tp the ball that moves it
What does potential energy depend on to increase?
Potential Energy depends on mass and height to increase(: Hope that helps.MassHeight
