The energy an object has because of its position is called?
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
How does an object affect the height of the object?
Directly. The greater the potential fall, the greater the potential energy.
Will an object have more potential energy atop a 50 foot hill or 100 foot hill?
An object will have more potential energy at the top of a 100 foot hill. Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to height.
How can Kenetic energy be affected by Gravitational potential energy?
Not directly; the two are independent. But if an object with gravitational potential energy falls, that energy may be converted to kinetic energy.
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.
How does height affect potential energy and kinetic energy?
Height directly affects gravitational potential energy, since this energy is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Height does not affect kinetic energy, which depends on the speed, not on the height. Except indirectly - for example, if an object is falling down, its speed will usually increase.
How does the position of an object affect potential energy?
The position of an object affects its gravitational potential energy (or GPE) because GPE is calculated by multiplying mass by the value for gravity (on Earth it's 9.81) and the objects height. The higher up an object is the more potential energy it will have because it has farther to fall.
What is potential energy that is directly related to how high an object is?
Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights
How does an object get gravitational potential energy?
An object gets gravitational potential energy by
How is the gravitational potential energy stored in an object converted into kinetic energy?
Gravity pulls the object and its velocity increases. The kinetic energy of a moving object is 1/2*m*v2
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
Energy at a height is called what?
Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.
