that depends on what potential, whether we have to calc it using relativity theory, etc..
for a simple body near ground its
kinetic energy: E_kin = 1/2 *m*v^2
m ist the mass, v its velocity
potential energy: E_pot = m*g*h
g is the gravity accelaration, h is height
The change in the kinetic energy of an object is equal to the net work done on theobject.
Kinetic energy: 1/2*m*v2
Potential energy: m*g*h
The total energy is the sum of both energies. If you want to achieve maximum kinetic energy, v (velocity) must be maximum; and to achieve maximum potential energy, h (height) muse be maximum.
If the work is done against gravity or another force, and no energy is wasted otherwise, then obviously (by the Law of Conservation of Energy), for every joule of work you do on the object the potential energy will increase by one joule.
It's internal energy if the object is microscopic and thermodynamic or mechanical energy if it's macroscopic.
Depends on its Mass and Velocity.
Kinetic Energy = (1/2) * Mass * Velocity^2
The sum of both is called the "mechanical energy".
It is the total mechanical energy of the object relative to a point of reference (from which the potential energy is measured).
Mechanical Energy :)
Mechanical Energy
The higher something is, the more potential energy it has stored.
Gradient of potential energy gives negative force at that point.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
Potetial energy is the energy an object has because of its position or location, or its energy of position.
Hold a rock in the air ... it has potential energy. Drop it ... the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. It hits the ground and stop ... the kinetic energy will be converted into thermal energy. Note that the total energy in each case is the same.
Direct (double the height to double the potential energy).
Both are mechanical force.
Gravitational + Potential = 100 If you have 67 J of potential energy your gravitational energy would be 33 J.
The higher something is, the more potential energy it has stored.

Potential energy is directly proportional to height.
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.

No Gravitational potential energy equals no force and thus no acceleration.
Potetial energy is the energy an object has because of its position or location, or its energy of position.
potential is the stored energy and kinetic energy is the energy of movement.
