What type of energy is associated with the position of an object?

Potential energy is associated with the position of an object.


What type of energy does an object have because of its position relative to another object that is pulling on it?

The type of energy that is stored in an object because of its position is potential energy. -Huzaifa Ahnaf


What type of energy does an object have due to position?

That is called potential energy.


What type energy does an object have due to position?

Potential energy, if you meant to say altitude.


What energy is based on an object's position called?

On the mass and velocity also it depends on the mass and quickness. That is the type of energy that it depends on.


How does kinetic energy change into potential energy?

An object has potential energy if it has been pushed into a certain position, against a certain type of force (a so-called "conservative force"). The potential energy will automatically be "released" when the object goes back to a lower-energy position (meaning, in this case, less potential energy); in that case, the potential energy will quite often be converted into kinetic energy, since the force tends to accelerate the object. One example is when an object in a high position (and which therefore has gravitational potential energy) falls down. Another example is when a spring is released.


How is potential energy is stored?

It really depends on the type of potential energy, but basically, just keeping an object in a high energy position, against some force, will store the potential energy. For example, water has more potential energy when it is in a higher position; typically it would be kept in a high position by a dam, until the energy is needed.


What type of energy is the energy of position?

Potential energy.


Why type of energy is potential energy?

What type of energy is associated with position and motion of an object?

This is actually two questions. Energy relating to the motion of an object is kinetic energy. Energy related to its position is potential energy (as with a brick suspended at some distance above the ground). Release the brick and its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The two are complementary. As the brick accelerates toward the ground its kinetic energy increases; as the distance decreases during that acceleration, it's potential energy decreases.
