There are two kinds of potential energy: Gravitational Potential Energy and Elastic Potential Energy. Their formula's are:
* Gravitational Potential Energy:
Ep = m x g x h
Ep = mass x gravity x height
* Elastic Potential Energy:
Ep = 1/2 x k x x^2
Ep = 0.5 x elastic constant x extention or compression squared
What else can I help you with?
What gives cars there potiential energy?
gravity
What are differences between potiential energy kinetic energy and thermel energy?
*Thermal
Is the sum of potiential and kinetic energy in a system called total energy?
sure
What converts potiential energy to kinetic energy?
motion of particle in conservative field.
What elastic potential energy?
Elastic potiential energy is the energy stored when an object is squeed or stretched.
What 3 thing are necessary to calculate potiential energy?
Height & weight.
What energy transformation occurs when gasoline is burn?
The mechanical energy from the engine (with help from electrical energy from the battery), turns the potiential energy of gasoline/petrol into kinetic energy.
What do you get when you combine kinetic with potiential energy?
That would be the total energy of an object. Energy is neither created or destroyed, just converted from one form to another.
Energy at rest is?
the energy due to position potiential energy
What is the potiential energy of the 85 kg rock?
For every meter it's raised, it gains 833 more joules of gravitational potential energy.
Which of these is an example of potiential energy?
A stretched rubber band is an example of potential energy. When the rubber band is released, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
What is the equation for gravitional potiential energy?
Assuming the force of gravity doesn't change much - for example, close to Earth's surface: GPE = mgh That is, gravitational potential energy is the product of mass, gravity and height. Close to Earth, a value of about 9.8 meters/square second is usually used for gravity. If you also measure mass in kilograms and height in meters, energy will be in joules.
