What is energy stored due to interactions between objects?

potential energy


Potential energy only exists?

between two objects


Does the moon have gravitational potential energy?

The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects. Thus, there is a gravitational potential energy between Earth and Moon, or between a rock that you lift up on the Moon, and the Moon.The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects.

What is an objects total and potential energy?

An objects total kinetic and potential energy is when both things are moving (kinetic) and the energy is stored in the object (potential)


Can gravitational potential energy be transferred between objects?

Yes. For example, this happens in a seesaw.


What is the difference between gravitational potential and elastic potential energy?

Elastic potential energy is the amount of energy that is stored in a material that can be compressed. One can measure the elastic potential energy in a material by the equation E = 1/2kx^2 k is the spring constant of an object. The spring constant tells you how stretchy (or elastic) a material is. x is the distance that the object is stretched or compressed. Gravitational energy is the potential energy between two masses with a gravitational field. Two masses will always have a gravitational pull towards each other so there is potential energy between two masses. The gravitational energy between two objects can be modeled by the equation E= Gm1m2 / r G is the gravitational constant 6.67x10^-11 m^3/Kg.s^2 m1 and m2 represent the masses of the two objects r is the distance between the two objects. The greater the distance between the two objects, the weaker the gravitational potential energy.


What energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in a system of objects?

The sum of the potential and kinetic energy of large-scale objects in a system is the Hamiltonian.


If there is no gravity Does potential energy of objects still exit Mechanical energy is produced by force. Gravity is a special force which is unlimited.Potential energy of objects is unlimited.?

If you leave earths gravitational field (sufficiently), objects will have a very negligible gravitational potential energy. You can consider it zero. But what if it were a compressed spring that you brought out into 'deep space'? It would still retain elastic potential energy. A bomb in deep space would still have explosive(?) potential energy. With that said, if you had two or more objects in deep space, they would have gravitational potential energy between the group of them, but not the earth.


An object that has potential energy may have this energy because of its?

An objects Potential Energy is because of its position.


Do moving objects have energy?

Yes they can have potential energy.


What can be converted to energy?

Anything with potential difference could create the flow of energy. A potential difference could be electropotential, chemical potential or potential difference between high and low ground like energy from water fall. A potential difference can exist in the form of motion difference between a stationary and a moving objects.


Where is potential energy stored within car at rest at top of a hill?

Potential energy is never stored in any single place. Potential energy is related to the interaction between two or more objects - in this case, the car and the Earth.
