Think of an object falling from a cliff: Potential energy = mass x gravity x height. So a larger object falling from a higher cliff will start out with more potential energy. As it falls, it speeds up, converting its potential energy into kinetic energy. Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity2. If it bounces, some of that KE is converted back into PE; otherwise it is lost as heat and sound (or in breaking things).

Is geothermal potential or kintetic energy?
It is potential because it moves.
Which object has kintetic energy?
Anything that moves.
How is potential energy transforme into kintetic energy?
When an object falls down.When an object falls down.When an object falls down.When an object falls down.
How do scientists classify energy?
Scientists classify energy into two main categories: potential energy, which is stored energy that an object has based on its position or condition, and kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion an object possesses. These two forms of energy can then be further divided into various subcategories based on their specific characteristics and interactions.
What effect does the planet have on gravitational potential energy?
The planet IS the source of gravitational (potential) energy.
How does elevation effect potential energy due to gravity?
Increase in potential energy = weight x increase in height
How factors can have the greatest effect on increasing the potential energy of an object?
Increasing the height of an object has the greatest effect on its potential energy since potential energy is directly proportional to height. Other factors that can increase potential energy include increasing the mass of the object and using a stronger gravitational field.
What is the effect of height on gravitational potential energy?
Height 'h', increases the gravitational potential energy E = - mGm/h.
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.
What is the effect of an object's height on it's potential energy?
Generally, the higher an object goes, the higher its potential energy will be. This is because higher object will have more energy when it falls.
What effect does pressure have on potential energy?
None. Nothin'. Nada. Zero
What effect does increasing the speed of an object have on the potential energy of the object?
None.
