What else can I help you with?
Does potential energy decrease with height?
Yes, potential energy decreases with height. This is because potential energy is directly proportional to an object's distance from the reference point, with an increase in height corresponding to a decrease in potential energy.
When a spring compresses does its kinetic energy increase?
No. Its potential energy does decrease.
Why does the potential energy decrease when something falls or is dropped?
When something falls or is dropped, its potential energy decreases because it is being converted into kinetic energy due to gravity. As the object moves closer to the Earth's surface, gravitational force is doing work on it, causing a reduction in potential energy and an increase in kinetic energy.
How can you increase and decrease stored elastic energy?
To increase stored elastic energy, you can stretch the material further, increasing its potential energy. To decrease stored elastic energy, you can release the tension or compression in the material, causing it to return to its original shape and reducing its potential energy.
How will the distance in an object move be related to it's 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.
If the height increases would you expect the potential energy to increase or decrease?
If the height increases, the potential energy would also increase. Potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above a reference point; as the object is raised to a higher position, its potential energy increases as well.
Kinetic energy decrease away from earth?
As an object moves away from Earth, it travels to a region of weaker gravitational pull. This results in a decrease in potential energy and a consequent decrease in kinetic energy as the object's velocity reduces. As per the law of conservation of energy, the decrease in kinetic energy corresponds to the increase in potential energy as the object gains altitude.
As an orange falls from it greatest height what kind of energy increase an what kind of energy decrease?
Kinetic energy increases and gravitational potential energy decreases.
Is there any way to increase or decrease the energy possessed by electrons?
You can increase or decrease the kinetic energy of electrons by accelerating or decelerating them, which you can do with an electric field or by collisions. You can increase or decrease the electrical potential energy of electrons by causing them to move to positions with lower or higher voltage. To a very small extent you can increase or decrease the gravitational potential energy of electrons by causing them to move up or down in a gravitational field.
When an object falls freely the kinetic energy of the object will?
It will decrease if the object moves upward; decrease if the object moves downward.
How does a change in mass affect the potential and kinetic energy of an object, and could you explain the specific impact of this change on the overall energy of the object?
When the mass of an object changes, its potential and kinetic energy also change. An increase in mass leads to an increase in potential and kinetic energy, while a decrease in mass results in a decrease in both types of energy. This change in mass directly impacts the overall energy of the object, as the total energy of the object is the sum of its potential and kinetic energy.
Does potential energy increase or decrease during sublimation?
During sublimation, potential energy generally increases as the intermolecular forces holding the particles together (in this case, solid particles) is overcome to transition to a gaseous state. This requires energy input to break these bonds, leading to an increase in potential energy.
