How does mass and height affect potential energy?
Increased mass and/or height increase potential energy.
Which does not affect the gravitational potential energy of an object?
speed
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.
Does velocity affect an object's potential energy?
No. The equation for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, gis 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. Velocity is not a factor in determining potential energy.
How does an objects mass affect its potential enegry?
There are different sorts of potential energy but the most common in physics is gravitational potential energy. An object of mass m has a potential energy of mgh where g is gravity (9.81 in metric units) and h is the height above ground.
How does mass and height affect potential energy?
Increased mass and/or height increase potential energy.
What are he factor that affect potential energy?
This can be deduced quite simply from the formula for potential energy: PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height)
Which does not affect the gravitational potential energy of an object?
speed
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.
How does an object affect the height of the object?
Directly. The greater the potential fall, the greater the potential energy.
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 do the mass and height of object affect the gravitational potential energy?
potential energy is mass times height times gravity acceleration; so for example if you double the height or double the mass you double the potential energy
Does velocity affect an object's potential energy?
No. The equation for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, gis 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. Velocity is not a factor in determining potential energy.
How does increasing speed affect an objects potential energy?
It doesn't. Increasing speed affects the KINETIC energy.
Why does the height affect the loop on a marble rollercoaster?
I would have gravitational potential energy, which is energy due to height.
How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potential energy?
Apex Mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.
What factors affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
Mass, gravity, height.
