What happens to an object with gravitational potential energy?
Probably nothing. Potential energy means that it is stored and not being used. It may eventually fall, with kinetic energy, and do some form of work, but as long as it only has potential energy, it remains motionless.
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.
If a resting potential becomes more negative what happens to the cell?
When the membrane potential becomes more negative it is being hyperpolarized. Remember the resting membrane potential is already at a negative state (~70mV). So if you are making a comparison of a membrane potential that is hyperpolarized in comparison to a resting membrane potential, the resting membrane potential is said to be more depolarized.When the membrane potential becomes more positive it is called depolarization.
Can any object have mechanical energy even if its momentum is zero. Explain?
Yes - mechanical energy includes both gravitational potential energy, and kinetic energy. If an object's momentum is zero, then its kinetic energy will also be zero, but its potential energy can be positive or negative, depending on whether the object is above or below the chosen reference level.
Is a car being driven up a hill and being parked kinetic energy changing to potential energy?
Is it changing from kinetic energy to potential energy
What is potential energy as far as being related to electricity?
Potential energy is stored energy, that can be released at any time. Also, potential energy is energy of position.
Hands moving on a battery operated clock is an example of what kind of energy conversion?
Kinetic energy being converted to chemical potential energy
What is the energy not being used called?
Energy that is not being used is called potential energy.
What is energy not being used called?
The energy that is not being used is referred to as the potential energy.
Which energy stored by being high up?
"Gravitational potential" or just "potential" energy.
Is a rubber band being stretched be potential or kinetic energy?
Becoming potential energy.
What is the name for Energy which is not being used?
Potential energy.
