First of all potential energy equation is :
E=mgz
E: potential energy / the unit is: joule (J)
m: mass / the unit is: kilogram (kg)
g: acceleration of gravity / the unit is: meter/second^2 (m/s2)
z: height / the unit is: meter (m)
Now the factors affecting the potential energy are:
1- mass
2- acceleration of gravity
3- height
Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).
eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.
Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of an object. Kinetic energy increases when an object's mass or speed increases. It decreases when the mass or speed decreases. If the object stops, the kinetic energy is transformed into another form of energy.
Potential energy = mgh So the obvious facors are : 1. m - mass of the object 2. g - gravitaional acceleration at the position of the object 3. h - height of the object from the reference level. This reference level is a level where we assume potential energy to be zero.
Potential energy is that energy which exists in any stationery object. For suppose, is a ball is at rest, a force is applied on it , it starts moving. In this case, when the ball is at rest it has potential energy (Since it's in rest), and when a force is applied on it, it has gained kinetic energy (Since it's in motion). When an unbalanced force acts on a object, it can be one of the affect of the object.

The position of an object affects its gravitational potential energy (or GPE) because GPE is calculated by multiplying mass by the value for gravity (on Earth it's 9.81) and the objects height. The higher up an object is the more potential energy it will have because it has farther to fall.
Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.
potential energy is the energy that an object has stored up. kinetic energy is an object in motion. :) hi ppl :)))))))
It's potential energy decreases.
The object's potential energy is 6,664 joules.
Classically, its height above the ground (or your reference level).
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
Directly. The greater the potential fall, the greater the potential energy.
An object will have more potential energy at the top of a 100 foot hill. Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to height.
Not directly; the two are independent. But if an object with gravitational potential energy falls, that energy may be converted to kinetic energy.
When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.
Height directly affects gravitational potential energy, since this energy is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). Height does not affect kinetic energy, which depends on the speed, not on the height. Except indirectly - for example, if an object is falling down, its speed will usually increase.
The position of an object affects its gravitational potential energy (or GPE) because GPE is calculated by multiplying mass by the value for gravity (on Earth it's 9.81) and the objects height. The higher up an object is the more potential energy it will have because it has farther to fall.

An object gets gravitational potential energy by
Gravity pulls the object and its velocity increases. The kinetic energy of a moving object is 1/2*m*v2
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
