How do pontential energy and kinectic energy compare?

object having height possess potential energy.Object having motion possess kinetic energy.


when a dog sleeping which energy potential enrgy or kinetic?

potential energy is the energy created due to stress on an object, Kinetic energy is the energy an object possess due to its motion, so a dog sleeping has neither of both.


How does potential energy gain?

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)

What energy does an object possess because of its position in a gravitational field?

That is called gravitational potential energy. When no confusion is possible, it might just be called "potential energy", although there are other types of potential energy, such as the potential energy in an electrical or magnetic field.


When you lift an object energy is transferred to an object which gives the object?

When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.

What kind of energy is a bird flying?

If you are told in the question that the object is moving then it most likely posses kinetic energy. When it is not on the ground, it also possess potential energy, gravitational potential energy to be precise. In this case, the bird possesses both.


What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?

An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
