How does increasing speed affect an objects potential energy?
It doesn't. Increasing speed affects the KINETIC energy.
How does increasing the starting height affect the final speed?
Increasing the starting height will result in a higher final speed due to the increased potential energy that is converted into kinetic energy as the object falls.
What increasing the speed of an object does what to the potential energy?
The potential (kinetic) energy increases E = (m*v2)/2
Increasing the speed of an object does what to the potential energy?
The potential (kinetic) energy increases E = (m*v2)/2
What effect does increasing the speed of an object have on the potential energy of the object?
None.
Does speed affect gravitational potential energy of an object?
Does speed 'effect' the gravitational potential energy of an object? No, but gravitational potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy - so the gravitational potential energy can effect the speed. Ep = mgh Energy Potential = mass * 9.81 (gravity) * height Speed / Velocity is absent from that equation.
How does height affect potential energy and kinetic energy?
Height directly affects gravitational potential energy, since this energy is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Height does not affect kinetic energy, which depends on the speed, not on the height. Except indirectly - for example, if an object is falling down, its speed will usually increase.
Which does not affect the gravitational potential energy of an object?
The mass of the object does not affect the gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is determined by the object's height and the acceleration due to gravity.
Is it possible for a body to both have increasing potential energy and kinetic energy?
Yes; for example, a car accelerating up a hill has an increasing speed and therefore Ek, yet is gaining gravitational potential.
If an object that moves faster does it have greater potential energy?
no. if an object moves faster its kinetic energy increases but at the same time its potential energy decreases.
What are some research questions for kinetic and potential energy?
How does the height of an object affect its potential energy? What factors influence the conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy in a system? How does the speed of an object impact its kinetic energy?
What is the conversion of energy when a jet aircraft climbs up by increasing its speed?
Potential chemical energy in its fuel, to heat energy from combustion, to kinetic mechanical energy in the thrust. The aicraft also gains potential energy as it climbs.
