Which has more potential position on table picture the ball in the middle of the table or at the end of the table?

If the table is flat, the potential energy is the same. If the table is inclined, the ball corresponding to the greatest inclination would have the greater potential energy.


What type of energy does a cup sitting on a table have?

The energy change that takes place as a cup falls off a table is the cup's potential energy decreases while the cup's kinetic energy increases.


Example for when gravitational potential energy is useful?

You lift a beer can a foot off the table, thus imparting gravitational potential energy to each preciousgolden drop of liquid in the can. You then tilt the can, positioning its orifice directly above the waiting stein.The liquid gives up its gravitational potential energy while falling from the can into the glass below.Upon impact with the glass, the gravitational potential energy has become kinetic energy, which is usedto generate the bountiful and luxurious head.


What type of energy is book on table?

Potential energy.


Can potential energy be transformed?

Yes. Stand on a table and jump off. That converts your potential energy into kinetic energy.


When a stone is kept on a table what energy it has?

What are the relationships between potential energy and kinetic energy?

People can improve me, but kinetic energy is the energy of motion and particles speed of a substance. So in otherwords if you had a textbook sitting on the table, it has potential energy, but if you push it off the table it then sort of has kinetic energy.


When a piece of clay falls from the table to the floor what happens to the potential energy it had while it was on the table?

As the clay falls it has kinetic energy


What is the kinetic energy of a ball when it is dropped from a height and it falls on a table?

it is the difference of the potential energy when the body is on the table and from the position where it is dropped.
