Does an object have more potential energy the more mass it has?
Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.
How does mass affect gravitational potential energy?
the formula for gravitational potential energy if mgh(mass X gravity X height). gravity is always 9.81m/s2. assume height is constant, more mass means more gravitational potential energy and vice versa
How does mass and height affect potential energy?
Increased mass and/or height increase potential energy.
How is two vases are side by side on a shelf one can have more potential energy?
Look at the formula for gravitational potential energy, which is mgh. If the vases have different masses, they can have different amounts of gravitational potential energy, even if their height above the ground (or another chosen reference level) is the same.
What will happen if you increase the mass of an object what will the potential energy do?
If you increase the mass of an object, the potential energy will increase.
How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potential energy?
Apex Mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.
How does the position of an object affect potential energy?
The position of an object affects its gravitational potential energy (or GPE) because GPE is calculated by multiplying mass by the value for gravity (on Earth it's 9.81) and the objects height. The higher up an object is the more potential energy it will have because it has farther to fall.
What do potential energy and kinetic energy have in common?
they have mass
Potential energy of the mass m?
Gravitational potential energy is calculated as mass x gravity x height.
Which has greater gravitational potential energy a car sittknv on top of a hill or a bowling ball sitting kn top of the same hill?
Gravitational potential energy is proportional to the object's height and its mass. So if the car has more mass than the bowling ball has, then it also has more gravitational potential energy.
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.
Does mass change depending on where you are located?
Very slightly. According to the Special Theory of Relativity, more energy implies more mass; if you lift an object up, it will have more energy (potential energy), so there will also be a very slight mass increase.
