Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is?
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is potential energy.
What is accomplished when an object is moved by a force?
When an object is moved by a force, work is done, increasing or decreasing its kinetic energy, often but not always decreasing or increasing its potential energy.
The potential energy of an object depends on its?
... the masses of the bodies involved and the distance between them.
What are some examples of energy transfer?
The exact details vary, depending on the types of energy involved. You may want to ask specific questions about specific types of energy transfer. I will give a few examples: An object falling down. While the potential energy (related to height) decreases, the kinetic energy (related to speed) increases. The same object touches the ground. Most of the movement energy is converted to random molecular movement, i.e., to heat. The Sun radiates energy: Heat (thermal energy) is converted into light and other electromagnetic waves (radiation energy). An object hits another object; part of the energy is converted to sound energy: Quite simply, the collision makes the objects vibrate; these collisions are transmitted through the air (for example), as sound waves.
Is we are prepared for whatever may happen a direct object?
We are prepared for whatever may happen. Direct object: whatever
How does gravitational potential energy of an object increase?
On Earth, Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) would increase with an increasing altitude.
How could you increase the energy of an object resting on a desk?
There are different types of energy. You can increase the gravitational potential energy by raising the object. You can increase its thermal energy by heating it up.
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
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.
What are two ways to give an object potential energy?
One can move the object in the negative direction of a gravitational force to increase its gravitational potential energy.If the object is elastic, you can deform the object under tension or compression (stress) to increase its elastic potential energy.If the object holds a magnetic charge you can increase its electrodynamic potential energy by subjecting it to a stronger magnetic field.If the object holds a static charge, one can increase the amount of charged electric particles (static) to increase electrostatic potential energy, also known as electric potential.One can heat an object to increase its thermal potential energy.One can slow an object down to increase it's rest mass energy (also potential)One can introduce charged leptons or down-type quarks into an atom, which by emitting W and Z bosons can increase the weak forces, which will increase nuclear potential forces of an atom (bit of a stretch)
What makes the potential energy increase the speed of an object?
Gravity
What two things do you need to increase the kinetic energy of an object?
speed and potential energy
What will happen to the kinetic energy of the object as it falls?
Increase.
What happens to potential energy as you increase the height or position of an object?
It increases.
How will the distance an object moves be related to it original potential energy?
If it is moved upward, it's potential energy will increase. If it is moved lower, then it's potential energy will decrease.
Does potential energy increase if it is higher of the ground?
yes it does because potential heat is due to the position of object
The weight and height of an object give an object what type of potential energy?
Basically, potential energy is increased by either an increase in mass, height, or both. As an object is more massive, it has the potential to do more work. As an object is higher up, it has the potential to do more work because it will have a higher velocity at the moment of impact. This is also seen in the definition of potential energy, which is Epotential = M(Ag)H. As shown, increasing either mass (M) or height (H) or both will increase the potential energy. The potential energy is completely related to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy = .5MV2. Increasing mass will directly increase kinetic energy. Height is a little different. The V is velocity, which increases as the object is falling inwards due to gravitational acceleration. Basically, an increase in mass results in an increase in kinetic energy. Initial height does not matter unless the object is moving downwards towards the center of gravity.
How do you increase gravitational potential energy?
Place the object higher above the ground
