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.
What is energy called when it is used with height?
Energy related to height sounds like the description of gravitational potential energy.
The energy an object has because of its position is called?
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
What energy does an object have because of its position?
It depends on the circumstances but usually such energy is referred to as potential energy. For example your position in a gravitational field may determine the gravitational potential energy. Likewise your position in a spring system may determine the potential energy of the spring.
Why is potential energy sometimes called stored energy?
because the work done in placing that object at a height is stored in it as the potential energy....
What potential energy depends on height is called?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
Is potential energy that depends on height is elastic potential energy?
No.

An object's energy due to its relative position?
This is called potential energy. The most common form of potential energy is an object suspended above the ground. Its height gives it potential energy, which is defined as mgh, where m is the mass, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height.
What does potential energy depend on to increase?
Potential Energy depends on mass and height to increase(: Hope that helps.MassHeight
Gravitational potential energy depends on weight and height?

What is potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and height?
That is called gravitational potential energy. Sometimes simply "potential energy", and the "gravitational" part is implied.
What is the similarities between kinetic energy and potential energy?
kinetic energy depends on speed an potential energy depends on height and mass
