Does a book sitting on a self have potential energy?
its physics term for the fact that it is not in motion (kinetic energy) but it is above the ground, so at any moment it could "potentially" have kinetic energy by falling to the floor.
The energy an object has because of its position is called?
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
When an object is lifted 6 feet off the ground it gains a certain amount of potential energy If the same object is lifted 12 feet off the ground its potential energy is?
Double the first potential energy.
How does potential energy vary height?
The higher above the ground an object is, the greater its potential energy.
Is potential energy measured in consumption or expenditure?
Potential energy is stored energy. It has nothing to do with consuming or using energy - although you need to use some other energy to increase an object's potential energy. For example, in the case of gravitational potential energy, an object above ground level (or any other reference level chosen) has a positive potential energy, while an object below ground level has a negative potential energy.
Is a flower pot weighing 3 newtons sitting on a windowsill 30 meters from the ground potential or kinetic?
Potential Energy The object is not in movement.

When you lift an object off the ground how are you changing its energy?
You are changing the object's gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to position of the object above the Earth. This energy has the potential to be transformed into Kinetic Energy if the object falls.

Double the first potential energy.
What is gravity potential energy?
When an object is lifted from the ground, it has potential energy because of it's position.
How does potential energy vary height?
The higher above the ground an object is, the greater its potential energy.
When an object is lifted 12 feet off the ground it gains a certain amount of potential energy. If the same object is lifted 36 feet off the ground its potential energy is .?
3 times the original potential energy
When an object is laying on the ground what energy does it possess?
After water or anything else falls to the ground it has no potential energy anymore. When mas is elevated it has potential energy. When it falls, the potential is converted to kinetic energy. That energy is then converted to light, heat, sound or compression of the object on to which the mass fell. But then the mass has no more potential energy.

The higher the object is off the ground the more what it has?
Potential energy
