How do you know if an object's mechanical energy is equal to it's potential energy that it has no kinetic energy?

Because of the weight of an object


Does an object in motion have more energy than on object at rest?

Objects in motion have kinetic energy and objects at rest have potential energy. Whether or not the object in motion has more energy than the same object at rest or vice versa depends on specific circumstances. It depends on the speed of the object in motion.


How do you know whether something is matter or energy?

no


When you perform work on an object you increase the energy of the object.?

Generally yes, but it really depends on the specific situation. -- If the work is done to lift the object, then the object's potential energy is increased. -- If the work is done to accelerate the object, then the object's kinetic energy is increased. -- If the work is done to move the object against friction, then the energy supplied is dissipated, and the object's energy may or may not change, depending on whether or not it is somewhat heated by the dissipation.


The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is know as?

The total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of an object is thermal energy.


Can the total energy of an object change without any work being done Explain?

Energy is a conserved quantity. That means that, if no energy enters or leaves an object, the total energy of this object will remain the same. There are several ways for energy to enter or leave; I am not sure whether all of these qualify as "work".

The energy an object has because of its at rest?

That sounds like a description of potential energy. However, the energy is not BECAUSE the object is at rest; rather, it's energy related to an object's position, with respect to other objects (specifically, if there is some force involved). For example, an object at a height of 100 meters will have a certain amount of gravitational potential energy - regardless of whether it is moving or not.


How do you know if an object has the most potential energy?

An object has the most potential energy when it is at its highest position or farthest distance from the reference point. The potential energy of an object depends on its mass, height, and the gravitational field strength.


How do you know if an object has any energy?

You consider, one by one, every possible type of energy.


What is needed to calculate kinetic energy?

Mass of a body and its speed are needed to calculate kinetic energy. Kinetic energy of an object = mv2/2 This formula is useful only when object's speed is much less than speed of light.


How can you know that an object is matter or not matter?

if it is an object, than it is composed of matter. if it is a form of energy, then it is not concidered matter
