Lowering an object decreases its potential energy?

Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.


What happens to an object's potential energy as it gains kinetic energy?

It's potential energy decreases.


Work done in lifting and lowering an object?

potential energy


Does potential energy decreases as an object falls to earth?

Yes.


If an object that moves faster does it have greater potential energy?

no. if an object moves faster its kinetic energy increases but at the same time its potential energy decreases.


What happens to potential energy of an object as it falls?

It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)


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.


Does lowering an object decrease its potential energy?

Yes. One type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, or how much energy an object has based on how far it can fall. If you lower an object, it loses gravitational potential energy because it can't fall as far. Likewise, if you raise an object, it gains G.P.E.


What is the final velocity of an object that decreases in kinetic energy and increases in potential energy?

Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.


When the negatively charged object moves in the opposite direction of an electric field the potential energy of the object?

decreases


How is potential energy tansformed into kenetic energy?

For example, when an object falls, its potential energy decreases, but its kinetic energy increases, i.e., it falls faster and faster.


Does kinetic energy decreases as a box accelerates down an inclined plane?

Kinetic energy increases; potential energy decreases, because the object is now in motion
