Potential energy is a form of energy that is stored within an object and it can be released or converted into another form of energy. Potential energy is most often associated with restoring forces such as in a spring, which stores potential energy when compressed or stretched.

What is the energy transferred by the rollercoaster cart. physics?
This is the potential energy.
What is GPE in physics?
Gravitational Potential Energy
What is the definition of gravitional potential energy?
The definition of Gravitational potential energy is In physics, potential energy is the energy stored in a body or in a system due to its position in a force field or due to its configuration
Area of physics deal with how energy is produced by the sun?
Nuclear physics
What physics concepts are in a mousetrap car?

What is PE and KE?
PE in physics is Potential Energy which means: energy an object has because of the position, shape, or condition of the object. KE in physics is Kinetic Energy which means: the energy of an object that is due to the object's motion.
How to use the word kinetic on a sentence?
Kinetic energy is a term used in physics. A ball has Kenetic (potential) energy.
Is there physics in a candle?
Yes, part of physics is studying the transfer of energy from one form to another. Within the candle is chemical potential energy (think about how the candle has to burn in scented candles), when a fire source comes near enough to the candle the chemical potential energy is transferred into thermal energy (heat energy) and radiant energy (visible light energy)
Is a book on a shelf potential energy?
Yes it is. Because it has the POTENTIAL of falling off. Very simple physics, learned that in 6th grade.
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.
What is energy in physics science?
Energy in physics has to do with either kinetic or potential "work". The ability of something to move. Motion is caused by the vibration of atoms. If the atoms were not moving (ie. at absolute zero), then there would be no kinetic energy by the highest potential energy. If the atoms (or more exactly, particles) were moving close to the speed of light, the kinetic energy would be at the highest point and potential energy at the lowest point.
