What is the change when an object is pushed along an inclined plane to a height?
The object's height and gravitational potential energy both increase.
How are objects able to gain energy as well as use it?
An object gains energy when it is either heated or pushed. If pushed vertically, it gains gravitational potential energy. If pushed horizontally, it gains kinetic energy.
What are the Objects that have potential energy?
Basically, any object that has been pushed against a force (and didn't return yet). For example, an object liftet against the gravitational force; a compressed spring; an object pushed against an electric or magnetic force.
What is the energy transformation of a sink?
The energy type that a sink uses is mechanical because the water is pushed by the pression.
Does a rock on the edge of a cliff contain kinetic energy?
No, because kinetic energy is the energy and object possesses because of its motion and its mass. Potential energy is the energy stored and held in readiness in an object. The rock has to be moving to have kinetic energy, but since the rock is just sitting on the edge of a cliff, it doesn't have kinetic, it has potential.

What happens to the energy that is used to overcome friction?
Generally it is transferred into heat and sound while the object is being pushed.
What happen to the speed of moving object when it is pushed in the direction of motion?
When a moving object is pushed in the direction of its motion the speed of the object increases

How does kinetic energy change into potential energy?
An object has potential energy if it has been pushed into a certain position, against a certain type of force (a so-called "conservative force"). The potential energy will automatically be "released" when the object goes back to a lower-energy position (meaning, in this case, less potential energy); in that case, the potential energy will quite often be converted into kinetic energy, since the force tends to accelerate the object. One example is when an object in a high position (and which therefore has gravitational potential energy) falls down. Another example is when a spring is released.
Where does the energy goes as an object is pushed across a surface when work is done against the force of friction?
The missing energy goes to heat the surface areas of the table and the sliding objectthat rub together.

How much water is pushed aside when an object sinks?
it depends on the volume of the object
What determines when work is being done on an object?
work is scientifically defined by power. so we can conclude that work can be determined on an object by if it has energy, or inertia. for example say i pushed a box, i would be transferring my energy to the box, and using my power which would mean i am doing work to the box.
