What is the definiton of gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is a type of energy that an object possesses because of where it is placed in a gravitational field. The higher the object the more energy it has, so if you had an object that was on the ground and then you put it on a high shelf then it would have more energy when it is on the shelf.
A trophy sitting on a shelf demonstrates energy?
potential
How much energy (in joules) does a 3-kg vase possess when its placed on a shelf 2.5 meters above the ground?
Use the formula PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height). Gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s2. Answer will be in Joule.
What A vase sits on a shelf what form of energy does it possess?
potential
If to vases are side-by-side on a shelf how could one have more potential energy?
IF the shelf is horizontal and both vases are absolutely identical, they will both have the same potential energy. However if they are different, then the vase that has the most mass will have more potential energy.

What term is used to describe the map of where each item is placed on a shelf?
Standard Shelf Design
Why when i Picked up a rock a shadow person came that night?
Like what I mean is I picked up a piece of concrete And placed it on my shelf at the edge of my bed And I woke without reason and saw it I was able to move So it wasn't sleep paralysis in fact I got under my Covers and fell asleep.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf what changes?
Gravitational potential energy
The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf
What can occur next to the continental shelf?
the continental slope
The best fishing in the oceans occur where?
Off the Continental Shelf.
What energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
The potential energy of the book on the shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. This is because the potential energy of an object at a certain height is equivalent to the work done against gravity to lift it to that height.
When an object is moved from the bottom shelf to the top shelf its gravitational potential energy has?
Increased
What form of stored energy does a book have while it is still on a high shelf?
How does a book on a higher shelf have more potential energy than a book on the lower shelf
Can fruit go bad if its placed on a higher shelf?
it doesnt matter what shelf it's on. the best way to keep it longer is the fridge
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
