What happens to the potential energy of an object if the mass is halved?
I assume you mean the gravitational potential energy. This is proportional to the mass, so if you change the mass by a factor of "a", the gravitational potential energy will change by the same factor of "a".
What factor affects gravitational potential energy?
Mass and Height
How does the electric potential energy between two charged particles change if one particles charge is increased by a factor of two?
It is increased by a factor of 2
Does velocity affect an object's potential energy?
No. The equation for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, gis 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. Velocity is not a factor in determining potential energy.
What are the three quantities that determine gravitational potential energy?
The mass and distance (weight and height) determine the potential energy. A third factor can be the relative motion of the objects, which does not change the potential but may determine its effect.
What factor does the gravitational potential energy of an object depend on?
It depends on the mass of the object, the local value of acceleration of gravity, and the object's height above the elevation you're using for your zero-potential-energy reference level.

What factor gives potential energy to an object?
location
Which is not a factor in either kinetic or potential energy?
length
What are he factor that affect potential energy?
This can be deduced quite simply from the formula for potential energy: PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height)

When the height of an object is doubled its gravitational potential energy is increased by a factor of what?
two

What do energy transformers do?
hi muscles perform Potential->Kinetic->heat potential- energy that can be used and is stored for use kinetic - movement heat- a prime factor of any kinetic relative glad to help Jordan
