The object has potential energy because it is not moving, but at any time it could start like a football is is not moving, but if I ran over and kicked it it would move so it has potential. I'm 13 amd in the seventh grade we are learning about that.

What type of energy is associated with the position of an object?

Potential energy is associated with the position of an object.


When you lift an object off the ground how are you changing its energy?

You are changing the object's gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to position of the object above the Earth. This energy has the potential to be transformed into Kinetic Energy if the object falls.

Potential energy is the energy contained in the position of an object, so object hanging on a tree would be potential energy.


Is potential energy an inanimate object or animate object?

Potential Energy is energy packed up and ready to be used. Kinetic energy is energy being used, or moving.


How is potential energy is used?

potential energy is the energy that an object has stored up. kinetic energy is an object in motion. :) hi ppl :)))))))
