What happens when you unscramble the word 'tenpliato'?
it means potential (as in my case, Gravitational Potential energy)
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
Gravitational energy Potential energy
Is gravitational energy kinetic?
Gravitational energy is the potential energyassociated with the gravitational field.
What do gravitational potential energy and chemical potential energy have in common?
In both cases, energy is involved in pushing something against a force.
What is the definition for gravitation energy?
Gravitational energy is a kind of potential energy - work done against a force.Gravitational energy is a kind of potential energy - work done against a force.Gravitational energy is a kind of potential energy - work done against a force.Gravitational energy is a kind of potential energy - work done against a force.
Why is potential energy called gravitational potential energy?
Potential energy and gravitational potential energy are different from each other ."Potential energy is the ability of a body to do work." Anddue_to_its_height.%22">"Gravitational potential energy is the ability of a body to do work due to its height."Gravitational potential energy is a type of potential energy.
What does potential energy plus gravitational energy equals?
Gravitational-potential energy.
What happens to the potential energy of an object if the mass is halved?
I assume you mean the gravitational potential energy. This is proportional to the mass, so if you change the mass by a factor of "a", the gravitational potential energy will change by the same factor of "a".
What happens to the gravitational energy of an object as it gets higher in a gravitational field?
-- If the velocity is horizontal, then gravitational potential energy doesn't change. -- If velocity is vertical and upward, gravitational potential energy increases at a rate proportional to the speed. -- If velocity is vertical and downward, gravitational potential energy decreases at a rate proportional to speed.
How does an object get its gravitational potential energy?
By raising it, bringing it against the force of gravity.
Is gravitational energy the same as gravitational potential energy?
It is a type of potential energy, but there are other types of potential energy, too.
