i think this is a trick question because the formula for PE is mxgxh, where g is gravity and there is no gravity in space, so the answer to the formula would be 0

Unlike kinetic energy potential energy is?
Potential energy is stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object.
What are some kinds of potential energy?
Energy stored in a spring; gravitational potential energy; chemical energy; nuclear energy.
What kind energy is dominos falling?
the type of energy is potential energy
In science what is potential and kinetic energy?
kinetic is related to movement.equation=1/2mv*v(m=mass,v=velocity) potential is related to position or shape and can be elastic potential energy or gravitational potential energy.equation=mgh (m=mass,g=acc. due to gravity,h=hight)
What are some potential energy?
Basically, potential energy is stored energy that is waiting to be converted into kinetic energy by have a force applied to the object. When an object has potential energy, it is not moving. So, two examples are: A rock sitting atop a hill or a cheetah about to spring at it's prey. 1. A rock is displaying potential energy because it is not moving. 2. The cheetah is storing energy, meaning that is waiting for the right moment to attack. Stored energy as in meaning that it is not using the energy that it has.Potential energy comes in two forms, spring potential energy, and gravitational potential energy. Spring potential energy comes from any elastic material that has the tendency to return to its original form, such as a bow string. An arrow drawn back on a bow would have potential energy because the bow string "wants" to return to its original state. Gravitational potential energy comes from being above the ground, such as a held basketball. Because it has the tendency to fall towards Earth, raising it up increases its potential energy.
Does a faster moving object has more potential energy?
No. Potential energy is energy due to an object's position in space. It has nothing to do with its motion.
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.
Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?
It is a form of potential energy.
Is there energy in space?
There is oxygen, carbondioxide, erosion, dirt, and weather in space, all of which have energy generating potential. So the answer is yes, though science hasn't permitted us to utilize any of this energy.
What is potintiel energy?
Potential energy is "stored energy" because of its position in space. For example, a car parked at the top of a hill, or the water behind a dam.
What form of potential energy does a person blowing a vuvuzela have?
chemical potential energy
What is an energy form based on position above or below another point?
The form of energy that is stored in an object due to its position above or below another point is called potential energy. There are three types of potential energy which are the elastic, electric, and gravitational potential energy.
What are the two types of potential energy?
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
Why is potential energy called gravitational potential energy?
Potential energy and gravitational potential energy are different from each other ."Potential energy is the ability of a body to do work." Anddue_to_its_height.%22">"Gravitational potential energy is the ability of a body to do work due to its height."Gravitational potential energy is a type of potential energy.
Is the energy from the sun potential energy?
Energy from the sun is delivered in the form of electromagnetic energy. It is not potential energy in the usual sense of the term potential energy which is usually taken to mean energy that is a consequence of the position of an object. The energy that is emitted from the sun and travel through space is electromagnetic energy. The electromagnetic energy of sunlight (or any other light) is manifested entirely in the oscillating electric and magnetic fields of the light. Note: There are variants in the definition of potential energy which are broader than merely energy that is a consequence of position. The alternative definition can be stored energy and and energy not available for work.
Is energy potential energy or kinetic energy?
potential
