When a coconut falls when does it have gravitational potential energy?
An object has potential engergy when it is any height above the ground. The object does not have to be moving to have engergy. This is like a stored energy. It takes energy to move or raise an object to a height level. This object now has stored that energy.
Why when you push an object across a desk is the work done not equal to the change in gravitational potential energy?
The gravitational potential energy does not change if the desk is horizontal. The work done is in overcoming the friction between the object and the desk.
What is the change when an object is pushed along an inclined plane to a height?
The object's height and gravitational potential energy both increase.
How would doubling the height of an object change the object's potential energy?
Also double since potential energy is the energy stored in a body due it's position.
How can you change the gravitational potential energy of an object?
Put it on a higher shelf. Or a lower one.
What is potential engergy?
Energy that is stored within an object.

How are electric current and potential difference related?
Potential engergy is the engergy an object has based upon the height from the ground. Electric current also seeks an electrical ground. The symbols and equations are quite similar as I recall in my Physics.
What tool measures earths gravatational pull on an object?
A bathroom scale does that job very well.
Does an object mass change potential energy?
Kinematics
What does gravatational potential energy mean?
It means that if an object is elevated to a higher position, it has more energy. It takes work to push the object up against Earth's gravitation; this work can be recovered when the object goes down again. While it is up, you can think of energy being saved in the object due to its position. More precisely, the energy is saved in the system Earth-object.
What object is energy stored in to cause change?
potential energy
How does potential change into kinetic?
Usually by allowing an object to fall.

What two thing change when an object is in motion?
I think it is the kinetic and potential energy but i am not sure
