∙ 14y agoPotential energy refers to the energy arising from the arrangement of a system of objects (particles), which interact with each other. Here, interaction means that objects apply force on each other. A change in the arrangement brings about a change in the forces interacting on the objects and the associated potential energy.

∙ 9y agoPotential energy is energy stored when work is done in a conservative force field. Basically, this means the energy cna be recovered. For example, this might be a gravitational field. You require energy (work) to push something up, but you can recover work when it falls back down. Another example of potential energy is energy stored in a spring.

Is rolling down a grassy hill kinetic or potiental?
Any time something falls, rolls, or slides down, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
Does pushing a rock up a hill give it potential energy?
YES The energy applied to the rock to overcome the inertial force of gravity to remain at rest posits "potential" energy in the rock which can be released in a fall from the level from which it has been pushed back to a condition of rest. A formula can be described to account for the energy the rock will release as it falls that includes the MASS of the rock, the ACCELERATION and final VELOCITY it achieves and the influence of FRICTION that absorbs some of the energy as it returns to rest.
What is relationship between mean and maximum energy of a beta particle?
Mean beta energy is 30% of the maximum energy.
What does it mean to transform energy?
change energy into another energy form.
What is aeolian energy?
I believe you mean eolic energy - that refers to wind energy.
What converts mechanical energy into mechanical energy?
potiental energy
What is the relationship between a kinetic an potential energy?
When potiental increases, kinetic decreases and vice versa.
What is difference between kinetic and potiental?

What type of speech is potiental used in a sentence like this your son has potiental?
In the sentence your son has potential, potential is a noun.
Which part of the neuron is capable of generating an action potiental?
axon
When you hold a book energy is stored between the book and the earth what kind of potiental energy is that?
The potential energy stored between the book and the Earth when you hold it is gravitational potential energy. This energy is due to the gravitational force between the book and the Earth, with the book being at a height above the ground. When you release the book, this potential energy converts to kinetic energy as the book falls towards the Earth.
When a neuron's resting potential is occurring the neuron is what charge on the inside?
resting potiental
What is an example of kinetic energy transferred to potiental energy?
Any object which is moving from a lower level to a higher level is converting kenetic energy (ie climbing a set of stairs for example) to potential energy. A car which has been parked at the top of a hill has used kenetic enegry to get up there and has potential to roll down to the bottom of the hill if the brake is released.
Which condition is a neuron in when the outside of the neuron has a net positive charge and the inside has a negative charge?
resting potiental
