What effect does increasing the speed of an object have on the potential energy of the object?
None.
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.
Increasing the speed of an object does what to the potential energy?
The potential (kinetic) energy increases E = (m*v2)/2
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
How does increasing speed affect an objects potential energy?
It doesn't. Increasing speed affects the KINETIC 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.
Does something have grater speed when it has more potential energy or less?
It can be a little complicated but I'll do my best to explain.Quick Vocab: potential energy - the stored energy in an object because of its position, shape, or condition. Kinetic energy - the energy of an object due to its motion. The more potential energy an object has the more Kinetic energy it will have. Basically when the object is moved the potential energy is released and becomes kinetic energy. As the kinetic energy (speed) increases the Potential energy decreases.So yes, when the potential energy decreases the speed increases.
Which does not affect the gravitational potential energy of an object?
speed
What The build up of speed in a moving object?
Potential energy, which can be released as kinetic energy. Kinetic energy not the build up of speed in a moving object.
What happens to potential energy if speed doubles?
Potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases as a car goes down a hill without braking.
What makes the potential energy increase the speed of an object?
Gravity
What two things do you need to increase the kinetic energy of an object?
speed and potential energy
