Potential energy is the energy of location. Gravitational potential energy is given by lifting an object, and is defined by the equation Ep = mgh, or mass * acceleration due to gravity * height.

How do you calculate energy input for lifting objects by weight and height lifted?

When an object is lifted to a certain height, the mechanical energy of the person or system lifting the object gets transferred into the potential energy of the object. Thus if an object of mass/weight 'm' is lifted to a height 'h', then the potential energy possed by the object at height 'h' is given as: Potential Energy (P.E)= m*g*h, where g is acceleration due to gravity and whose value is 9.8 m/s2.


What type of energy is present in a barbell lifted or a shot-pull being thrown?

kinetic energy being enacted. this energy is giving rise to potential energy too, as the item is being lifted into the air. When an item is lifted, it is given potential energy, as this potential energy is what fuels its future descent. So, when moved, kinetic energy is both moving the object, and storing potential energy for future use.


When you lift the object. What is the energy?

Chemical energy (originally form the Sun) in your muscles is used to impart potential energy to the object you have lifted.


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.


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 lifted where does the potential energy come from?

Elastic potential energy can be found when you are stretching a spring. Any kind of elastic energy can be found when you are stretching or compressing an object.


What is gravity potential energy?

When an object is lifted from the ground, it has potential energy because of it's position.


When you lift an object energy is transferred to an object which gives the object?

When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.


What is gravitational energy due to?

The energy stored in an object in a higher position came from whatever lifted it up.


How do you calculate potential energy of a 25 newton object lifted 3 meters?

Potential energy = mg * h Given mg = 25 N and h = 3 m So required potential energy = 75 J


When an object is lifted 4 feet off the ground it gains a certain amount of potential energy so what if the same object is lifted 8 feet off the ground what would happen to it's potential energy?

It will withhold two times as much potential energy as before.


Whenever work is done on an object the object is given what?

Energy!
