Elastic potential energy is gained the more it is stretched (like a catapault or rubber band)
Gravitational potential energy is increased if the object is raised higher up (further away from the centre of gravity)

∙ 14y agoAn object can possess energy by virtue of its motion or position. Kinetic energy depends on the mass of the object and its velocity. Potential energy depends on the position of the object relative to the body with which it interacts.

What type of energy do you gain as you cycle up a hill?
You gain Potential Energy as you cycle up a hill.
How many joules of potential energy does 1kg book gain when it is elevated 4m?
39.2 joules of potential energy.
What is the energy we gain from climbing a mountain?
Your gravitational potential energy would increase in this case. Of course, this comes at the cost of another type of energy; in this case, chemical energy stored in your body, from the food you ate.
Can chemical energy be converted to gravitational potential energy?
By using chemicals in a rocket engine to raise a vehicle high above the earth's surface, the vehicle will gain gravitational potential energy. It will also gain kinetic energy, depending on what trajectory it follows
Can an object gain more energy?
Sure, you can add energy to an object. For example, you can heat an object up (to have it gain heat energy), you can raise it (to have it gain gravitational potential energy), or you can make it move (to have it gain kinetic energy). In each case, the energy has to come from somewhere.
What form of energy does a book gain?
potential energy
When does a coaster have a large amount of Kinetic Energy and when does it have a large amount of Potential Energy?
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
What type of energy do you gain as you cycle up a hill?
You gain Potential Energy as you cycle up a hill.
How many joules of potential energy does 1kg book gain when it is elevated 4m?
39.2 joules of potential energy.
How many joules of potential energy does a 1N book gain when it is elevated 4m?
If Gravitational potential energy = weight X height, then the book should gain 4joules

Suppose a falling object loses 7J of potential energy. How much kinetic energy will it gain?
From what I understand: PE - Potential Energy (mgh) KE - Kinetic Energy (1/2 mv2) If one dismisses the friction with air (conservation of energy), a loss of 7 joules for potential energy means a gain of 7 Joules in kinetic energy.

How does a rocket gain potential energy?
There is more than one kind of potential energy. A rocket, when fueled, has chemical potential energy. When it burns its fuel, it loses chemical potential energy but gains gravitational potential energy. If it then falls back to the ground it loses gravitational potential energy but gains in heat and kinetic energy, until it burns up or crashes.
