the height at which it is located above a reference point. The formula for gravitational potential energy is PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.

The potential energy of an object depends on its position and mass. Both a rock and a ball can have potential energy, but the amount will vary depending on their height above the ground and their mass. Generally, the object with more mass and/or higher position will have greater potential energy.
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
This would be its chemical potential energy, of course it depends on what other chemical(s) it is reacting with, such as oxygen.
It has potential energy but when it is in movement it will possess kinetic energy
Clearly, that depends on the amount of potential energy. If given the height, calculate the potential energy with the formula for gravitational potential energy (PE = mgh). If mass is not given, you can assume any mass (it doesn't affect the result), or use a variable "m". Then, assuming it gets converted to kinetic energy, use the formula for kinetic energy (KE = (1/2)mv2), replace the KE with the energy you calculated before, and solve for v (the speed).
The amount of potential energy possessed by an elevated object is equal to the product of its mass, gravitational acceleration, and height above a reference point. This can be mathematically represented as PE = mgh, where PE is potential energy, m is mass, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is height.
Gravitational potential energy is related to an object's height above the ground. The higher an object is positioned, the greater its gravitational potential energy. It is a form of potential energy that results from an object's position within a gravitational field.
Elastic potential energy depends on the deformation or stretching of an elastic material, such as a spring or rubber band. The amount of potential energy stored in the material is directly proportional to how much it has been stretched or compressed. This energy is released when the material returns to its original shape.
Yes, potential energy is an extensive property as it depends on the amount of material or mass present. This means that the total potential energy of a system increases with the quantity of material or objects in that system.
Elastic potential energy depends on the material's elasticity (spring constant) and the amount of deformation or stretch from the equilibrium position.
Potential energy needs to increase with higher elevation, while kinetic energy needs to increase with greater speed.
Potential energy is energy that an object possesses because of its position or condition. It is stored energy that has the ability to do work. The amount of potential energy an object has depends on its height, mass, and the force acting upon it.
No.
The potential energy of an object depends on its position and mass. Both a rock and a ball can have potential energy, but the amount will vary depending on their height above the ground and their mass. Generally, the object with more mass and/or higher position will have greater potential energy.
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
The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.
The maximum amount of energy that can be converted from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy occurs when all of the initial potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. This can be calculated using the equation: PE = KE, where PE is the initial potential energy and KE is the final kinetic energy. In this scenario, the maximum amount of energy is equal to the initial potential energy of the object.
