Gravitational energy is when an object has more potential energy because of its higher or up hill position. An object rolling down a steep hill will have more energy than one from a lower position.

What energy is used for travelling uphill?
Kinetic energy
Can Water can defy gravity and climb uphill?
You can take it up in a pail, for example. In general, if there is another force which is (at least locally) stronger than gravity, it can take water uphill. WITHOUT such additional forces, no, this isn't possible.In general, you need energy to push something up, against the pull of gravity; you need to get this energy from SOMEWHERE.
How do you conserve wind energy?
Wind energy, or rather, electricity produced from wind energy, can be stored in batteries. It can also be used to pump water uphill. This water can then be used later when needed to generate electricity (hydro-electricity).
Riding a bike down a hill is comparable to which type of process?
Turning potential energy into kinetic energy. As you ride down the hill the potential energy you stored in your mass on the way up is converted into kinetic energy. That's why you speed up as you go down a hill and also why it's harder to go uphill.
What are bad things about mechanical energy?
Storage of mechanical energy can be difficult and may necessitate lossy conversions to other forms. Pumping water uphill into a hydro-power generation reservoir is used, but not widely, so appears to be short on advantages.
Why do gravitational energy is sometimes called uphill?
why is gravitational potential energy somtimes called 'uphill energy'
What energy is used for travelling uphill?
Kinetic energy
Gravity your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and it when you are driving downhill?
it is both kinetic and potential energy
What energy conversion takes place when you run after a meal?
Chemical energy into heat and kinetic energy. Potential energy too, if you move uphill.
What type of reactions are considered uphill?
Anabolic because it requires the input of energy.
Why does walking for one kilometre uphill use more energy than walking for one kilometre on a flat road?
you exert more energy going uphill because your muscles strain a bit more but it really depends on the angle
How do you store electrical energy from solar panels?
You can store it in a battery or by pumping water uphill.
Is it easier to cycle uphill by weaving from side to side?
no it is not easier alls you are doing is using up more energy!!!
What is concentration gradient downhill or uphill?
when the solute passes from a higher solute concentration to a lower solute concentration, it is known as concentration gradient downhill. and the reverse is true for uphill. also, down hill transport requires energy which is derived from ATP. uphill transport is not derived from ATP's rather from the random motion of the molecules themselves.
Is pulling a wagon uphill an example of increasing potential energy?
Yes, the gravitational potential energy is increased. The potential energy in joules is equal to mgh (mass * gravity * height), so increasing the height increases this energy.
Why does it require more energy to walk uphill than to walk on a flat surface?
This can be explained in different ways: # You are increasing your potential energy. # You are doing work against the force of gravity.
When did Uphill Battle end?
Uphill Battle ended in 2005.
