What are the two major types of potential energy?
The two major types of potential energy are gravitational potential energy, which depends on an object's height and the acceleration due to gravity, and elastic potential energy, which is stored in objects that can be compressed or stretched, like a spring.
Which example best illustrates a change from elastic potential energy to kinetic energy?
A ball dropped from a height transforms its stored elastic potential energy due to gravity into kinetic energy as it accelerates downward.
What is a form of potential energy?
There are three main types of potential energy: elastic potential energy, gravitational potential energy, and chemical potential energy. Elastic potential energy is stored in objects that can either be stretched or compressed. The more the object is stretched or compressed, the more elastic potential energy it'll have.
What is potential energy called that depends on height?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
How and can you increase the potential energy an object has?
You can increase an object's potential energy by either increasing its height or applying a force in the direction opposite to the field it is in. This applies to gravitational potential energy (increasing height) and elastic potential energy (stretching a spring).
What potential energy depends on height is called?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
What is the equation for potiential energy?
There are two kinds of potential energy: Gravitational Potential Energy and Elastic Potential Energy. Their formula's are: * Gravitational Potential Energy: Ep = m x g x h Ep = mass x gravity x height * Elastic Potential Energy: Ep = 1/2 x k x x^2 Ep = 0.5 x elastic constant x extention or compression squared
Different types of potential energy?
Some types of potential energy include gravitational potential energy (related to an object's height and mass), elastic potential energy (stored in objects like springs or rubber bands when they are stretched or compressed), and chemical potential energy (stored in the bonds between atoms and molecules).
What is potentical energy called that depends on height?
Gravitational potential energy.
What are the two factors Gravitational potential energy depends on?
Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's mass and its height above a reference point, such as the ground. The greater the mass and height of an object, the higher its gravitational potential energy.
Can Elastic potential energy be converted to gravitational potential energy?
Yes. For example when a mass hung to a spring is displaced downwards from its equilibrium position, it oscillates and at the maximum height, the body has gained gravitational Ep compared to its initial position.
What does potential energy depend on to increase?
Potential Energy depends on mass and height to increase(: Hope that helps.MassHeight
