The potential energy of an object depends on its?
... the masses of the bodies involved and the distance between them.
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is?
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is potential energy.
What are some examples of energy transfer?
The exact details vary, depending on the types of energy involved. You may want to ask specific questions about specific types of energy transfer. I will give a few examples: An object falling down. While the potential energy (related to height) decreases, the kinetic energy (related to speed) increases. The same object touches the ground. Most of the movement energy is converted to random molecular movement, i.e., to heat. The Sun radiates energy: Heat (thermal energy) is converted into light and other electromagnetic waves (radiation energy). An object hits another object; part of the energy is converted to sound energy: Quite simply, the collision makes the objects vibrate; these collisions are transmitted through the air (for example), as sound waves.
Diagram the energy transformations that take place at a hydroelectric power plant?
dam builds up a "head" of water pressurepressure forces water through turbine, causing it to turnrotating turbine turns alternatorrotating alternator generates electric currentBTW, all energy is natural.
What is the change of potential energy when a box is pushed 10.0 ft across a level floor by a force of 50 lb?
The net potential energy is zero to begin with, so it is zero to end with, and thus the change is zero as well. The reason for this is because the box doesn't have the ability to fall (or spontaneously react, depending on the contents!) as far as we know because the problem you've given says that we are on a level floor.If it were an incline, you'd form a right triangle by stating the length it moved along the incline and the angle. You would then solve sinΘ=height/hypotenuse for the height, then you'd plug that into an equation that you should find in your textbook or equation sheet.
What is related to an objects height?
Gravitational potential energy
What is potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and height?
That is called gravitational potential energy. Sometimes simply "potential energy", and the "gravitational" part is implied.
If you multiply an objects weight by its height what value do it compute?
gravitational potential energy!!!!!!
What energy is related to an objects height?
As height increases, so does gravitational potential energy.
How would you calculate an objects gravitational potential energy?
Multiply its weight by its height.
What potential energy related to an objects height?
Shut Up. I Don't Know.
The potential energy of an object depends on its?
... the masses of the bodies involved and the distance between them.
How can you determine a objects potential energery?
If you mean gravitational potential energy, you use the formula PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height).
What two factors determine an objects gravitational potential energy?
PE=mgh. Potential energy is the product of mass x gravity x height.
Potential energy related to an objects height?
Yes, it is based on both. Potential energy (gravitational potential energy, to be more precise) is simply the weight multiplied by the height.
What are the 10 forms of energy?
They are; Kinetic Energy (from moving objects), Gravitational Potential Energy (possessed by anything on a height), Elastic Potential Energy (possessed by squashed or stretched objects), Electrical, Magnetic, Mechanical, Heat/Thermal, Nuclear, Chemical, and Light.
Energy at a height is called what?
Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.
