Depends what potential energy you mean. Without an additional qualifier, "potential energy" frequently refers to gravitational potential energy. This is calculated as mass x gravity x height. If you want to use standard (SI) units, mass is in kg., gravity in meters per second square (the value is about 9.8, if you are close to the Earth's surface), and height in meters. The result is in Joule.

Is anything that lifted off the ground has potential energy?
True. It has "potential energy", in that gravity could be used to convert that "potential" energy into actual kinetic energy.
Is it possible to have more kinetic energy than potential energy?
No, because potential energy is the amount of energy that COULD be used, while kinetic energy is the amount of energy that IS being used.
What is energy not being used called?
The energy that is not being used is referred to as the potential energy.
How is potential energy is used?
potential energy is the energy that an object has stored up. kinetic energy is an object in motion. :) hi ppl :)))))))
Is kinetic energy more than potential energy?
Both are forms of energy. Potential energy is the available energy that could be used and Kinetic energy is the energy actually being used. Think of Potential energy as being a high cliff with water on top. The higher the cliff the more energy available. If no water is falling though, there is noting being used, But the potential for falling water is still there. Kinetic energy is the water that actually falls.
How do you calulate gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential = Mass x Gravitational field strength x Height moved Note: Newton x Metre = Joule Kowalsi
How is potential energy stored energy?
Potential energy is called stored energy because it is an energy that is not being used but ready to be used.
What is the energy that has not been used?
potential energy
How is energy described when it is not used?
potential energy
Is potential energy an inanimate object or animate object?
Potential Energy is energy packed up and ready to be used. Kinetic energy is energy being used, or moving.

True. It has "potential energy", in that gravity could be used to convert that "potential" energy into actual kinetic energy.
Is it possible to have more kinetic energy than potential energy?
No, because potential energy is the amount of energy that COULD be used, while kinetic energy is the amount of energy that IS being used.
What is the name for Energy which is not being used?
Potential energy.
What is the energy not being used called?
Energy that is not being used is called potential energy.

How is potential and kinetic energy used?
potential energy is the energy that an object has stored up. kinetic energy is an object in motion. :) hi ppl :)))))))
