How high must you lift a 25-newton book for it to have the same increase in potential energy as a 20-newton book that was lifted 0.5m?

PE=mgh
(20 N)(.5 m) = (25 N)x
x=0.4 m

How were you able to increase the amount of potential energy the ball had?
As we increase the altitude of the ball the potential energy increases.
How does gravitational potential energy of an object increase?
On Earth, Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) would increase with an increasing altitude.
How does mass and height affect potential energy?
Increased mass and/or height increase potential energy.
How can you increase gravitational potential energy?
Potential gravitational energy is pretty theoretic, but exists as potential. So a ball sitting on the floor has little to no potential energy as it is as low as possible, but put that ball on a table, its potential energy increases. So the answer is to place things higher, on a surface of a sort. Mass and height
Book on a shelf potential or kinetic energy?
Carry it up a cliff. ************************** Increase the height of the object or increase the mass.
What will happen if you increase the mass of an object what will the potential energy do?
If you increase the mass of an object, the potential energy will increase.
What does potential energy depend on to increase?
Potential Energy depends on mass and height to increase(: Hope that helps.MassHeight

How does elevation effect potential energy due to gravity?
Increase in potential energy = weight x increase in height
What affects potential?
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.

When does potental energy have the most energy?
For example, in the case of gravitational potential energy, the formula is PE = mgh (the product of mass, gravity, height). Increase any of the three, and potential energy will increase.
When a boy climbs steps what happened to his potential energy?
If he climbs up the stairs, his potential energy will increase.
How can you increases the potential energy of a diver in the Olympics?
The higher the diving board, the more increase of potential energy.
