How does an object get its gravitational potential energy?
By raising it, bringing it against the force of gravity.
Can gravity be converted into energy?
You have to use energy to raise a mass against the gravitational force, the object then has potential energy. If it is then let fall, this potential is released.
Which force is often associated with an object's potential energy?
The answer is gravity. A+: Gravity
What is the force that supports an object against gravity?
traction
The states that exists when the only force acting on an object is gravity?
When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".

How is gravity used for energy?
When pushing something up against the force of gravity, you are making an "energy investment", so to speak. (You require energy to push the object up; this energy can be recovered when the object falls back down.)
What is the force that supports an object against gravity?
traction
Why when you push an object across a desk the work done is not equal to the change in gravitational potential energy?
In this case, you are not doing work against the force of gravity, but against the force of friction.
The states that exists when the only force acting on an object is gravity?
When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".
What is the amount of force required to lift an object against the force of gravity equal to?
The acceleration due to gravity (9.8 meters/sec.^2) * mass of object.
What force causes a falling object to gain kinetic energy?
gravity
What does the force caused by gravity pulling down on an object cause an object to have?
Gravitational Potential Energy.
How does the gravity transform energy?
When an object is moved up, against the force of gravity, its potential energy increases. Since it requires some force to move it up, some other form of energy is converted into potential energy. When the object moves down (for example, when it falls down), this potential energy is again converted into some other type of energy. For more information, do some reading on the topic of "potential energy".
When the only force affecting an object is gravity that object is?
When the only force on an object is the force of gravity,we say that the object is in "free fall".
