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.
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is?
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is potential energy.
What is accomplished when an object is moved by a force?
When an object is moved by a force, work is done, increasing or decreasing its kinetic energy, often but not always decreasing or increasing its potential energy.
What are some examples of energy transfer?
The exact details vary, depending on the types of energy involved. You may want to ask specific questions about specific types of energy transfer. I will give a few examples: An object falling down. While the potential energy (related to height) decreases, the kinetic energy (related to speed) increases. The same object touches the ground. Most of the movement energy is converted to random molecular movement, i.e., to heat. The Sun radiates energy: Heat (thermal energy) is converted into light and other electromagnetic waves (radiation energy). An object hits another object; part of the energy is converted to sound energy: Quite simply, the collision makes the objects vibrate; these collisions are transmitted through the air (for example), as sound waves.
How does a skier gliding down a hill illustrate the conservation of energy?
At the top of the hill, the skier possesses potential energy. As he travels down the hill, his potential energy is converted into his kinetic energy. Conservation of energy says that the skiers potential energy equals his kinetic energy further downslope (plus a little lost to heat from friction).
What elastic potential energy depends on?
Elastic potential energy depends on the distance the object is compressed or stretched.
What is potential energy called that depends on height?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
What depends on the shape and position of an object?
potential energy
What is the total energy of all the particles in an object called?
potential energy
How does potential energy gain?
Elastic potential energy is gained the more it is stretched (like a catapault or rubber band) Gravitational potential energy is increased if the object is raised higher up (further away from the centre of gravity)
When you lift an object energy is transferred to an object which gives the object?
When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.
When does an object have gravitational potential energy?
Well gravitational potential energy is potential energy that depends on the height of an object so an object would have gravitational potential energy when ever it's of the ground or at a high height (it doesn't have to be very high) for example if you lift up a ball it has the potential to fall or if your climbing a mountain you have gravitational potential energy.
The energy an object has because it is moving?
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has because of its motion. The energy depends on the speed and mass of the object.
What is is potential energy stored in?
Potential enery depends only on the position of the object. It cant be 'stored'.
The of an object depends on location?
The precise direction of the sight line of an object depends on location. The location will also influence the potential energy of the object.
How can you increase an object's gravitational potential energy?
By raising the object to a higher position. The potential energy also depends on the force of gravity, and on the object's mass, but for a given object (and for a given planet!), you have no control over these.
What does the gravitational potential energy of an object depend on?
It depends on the mass of the object, the local value of acceleration of gravity, and the object's height above the elevation you're using for your zero-potential-energy reference level.
