If to vases are side-by-side on a shelf how could one have more potential energy?

IF the shelf is horizontal and both vases are absolutely identical, they will both have the same potential energy. However if they are different, then the vase that has the most mass will have more potential energy.

How if two vases are side by on a shelf one could have more potential energy?
because of the mass
What A vase sits on a shelf what form of energy does it possess?
potential
What sort of energy does a book have if it falls off a high shelf?
Before it falls it has gravitational potential energy. While it falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Part of this gets dissipated by friction - mainly converted to heat. Once it hits the ground, all the energy will be converted to heat.
What is the definiton of gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is a type of energy that an object possesses because of where it is placed in a gravitational field. The higher the object the more energy it has, so if you had an object that was on the ground and then you put it on a high shelf then it would have more energy when it is on the shelf.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf what changes?
Gravitational potential energy
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
What energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
The potential energy of the book on the shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. This is because the potential energy of an object at a certain height is equivalent to the work done against gravity to lift it to that height.
What energy is a book on a shelf?
Potential Energy If it falls, it will then be subject of gravity, so it has the potential of becoming energetic. -------------------- The bookshelf could also catch fire and the book would release energy as heat.
Why does a book on a high shelf have more potential energy than on a low shelf?
Since potential energy equals mgh. When h, height increases potential energy also increases. If h is 0 then p.e is 0/

When an object is moved from the bottom shelf to the top shelf its gravitational potential energy has?
Increased
How can you the amount of potential energy in a book sitting on a bookshelf?
Place it on a higher shelf. If it has to stay on the same shelf, then its potential energy can only be increased by adding some pages to it.
What kind of energy does a book on shelf have?
It has mechanical energy. The exact type of energy is potential.
How if two vases are side by on a shelf one could have more potential energy?

Does a book sitting on a shelf have gravitational potential energy?
YES!
