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.

What kind of energy is an example of potential energy?

potential energy is stored energy so like, pulling a bow and arrow, pulling the bow back is a form of potential enegry because it's stroing energy This would be an example of elastic potential energy. Other types include gravitational potential energy, electrical potential energy and chemical potential energy.


How does increasing speed affect potential energy?

Increasing the speed will increase the KINETIC energy, not the potential energy. Of course, the potential energy may eventually be converted into kinetic energy, for example if the object moves upwards.


Is it possible for a body to both have increasing potential energy and kinetic energy?

Yes; for example, a car accelerating up a hill has an increasing speed and therefore Ek, yet is gaining gravitational potential.


Why is there potential energy when stretching a rubber band?

It has potential to do work. Looking at it another way, it requires energy to stretch the rubber band; this energy can be recovered - for example, by pulling something - when the rubber band gets back to its normal position.


Is a tractor pulling plow kinetic energy or potential energy?

Kinetic energy because kinetic energy moves and potential energy stays in place


How does increasing speed affect an objects potential energy?

It doesn't. Increasing speed affects the KINETIC energy.


Is an example of potential energy?

Newton's Gravity is an example of potential energy, E= -mGM/r and Planck's Energy is an example of potential energy E = hf = hc/r.


What type of energy is slowly increasing as you are climbing to the top of the first hill on a roller coaster?

it would be the energy that is slowly increasing


Increasing the speed of an object does what to the potential energy?

The potential (kinetic) energy increases E = (m*v2)/2


What increasing the speed of an object does what to the potential energy?

The potential (kinetic) energy increases E = (m*v2)/2

What affects potential?

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.
