There are different types of potential energy; in general, you have to use the definition of work = force x distance. Thus, in the case of gravitational potential energy, the work required to lift something (that is, the potential energy) is weight x height. In the more general case, in which the force is not constant, integrals have to be used.

Is a nuclear power plant an example of kinetic or potential energy?
potenial
The energy an object has because of where it is or because of it's condition is called potenial energy. true or false?
Type your answer here...yes man
What is the difference between potential and active energy?
Potential energy is energy that has the potential to be active. For example, when you pick up a pen, that is gravitational potenial energy, becasue it has the potetial to be dropped, in grvaity. Active energy would be when the pen is droppped and it is moving, it is active. It has a source of energy. Active energy is energy that is moving and working.
What is kinetic and potiential energy?
The definition for Potenial Energy- is stored up energy due to its position the definition for Kinetc Energy- is energy an object has due to its motion. [motion is moving] Here are some examples of Potenial Energy a man on top of a slide, a cup on a table, and a pencil on a desk. remember potenial energy is something that's stay still or don't move Here are some Examples of Kinetc Energy a moving car, a moving bus, amoving train, and a moving truck. remember kinetc energy is something that moves .. another word for move is motion. one mor example: water in the ocean is moving.

Would fresh vegetables have chemical energy or potential energy?
potenial energy because the vegtable is just sitting there and it has the potenial energy to fall and that is because of its position or condition!
What kind of energy is it called when a pitcher is holding a baseball in it?
