You would have more potential energy at the top because your potential energy is directly proportional to the height. Potential energy is equal to mass(kg) x height(m) x gravitational pull(10m/s), and is measures in Joules(J).

What does a positive H look like on a potential energy diagram?

The potential energy of the products is greater than the potential energy of the reactants.


How would you explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is energy related to movement. The formula is (1/2) mass times velocity squared. Potential energy is energy of position. The formula for gravitional potential energy is mgh (mass times gravitation times height).


Where is the energy stored in a compound?

Since chemical energy is a type of potential energy, it is hard - and doubtful - to pinpoint the energy exactly. There is energy in the fact that atoms are in a certain configuration, or in the fact that atoms are separate - atoms that would be in a lower energy state if they combined. The potential energy is in the system configuration - not in any particular component.Since chemical energy is a type of potential energy, it is hard - and doubtful - to pinpoint the energy exactly.

Is a falling ball potential or kinetic energy?

it is kinetic because it involves releasing the energy.

What kind of energy would a skier have at the top of a hill have more than a skier at the bottom of the hill?

A skier at the top of a hill would have more potential energy due to their elevated position compared to a skier at the bottom of the hill. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy as the skier descends the hill.


What energy would a cart have at the end of a ramp?

If it were released from the top of the ramp, the cart would have maximum kinetic energy at the bottom of the ramp since the gravitational energy at the top of the ramp is converted into the kinetic energy of the cart.


What safety gate would you recommend for the bottom of stairs?

I recommend a hardware-mounted safety gate for the bottom of stairs, as they are more secure and less likely to be pushed over by a child.


What does the law of conservation of energy say about the energy at the top and the bottom?

The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. This means that the total energy of a system remains constant. So, at the top and bottom of a system, the total energy would be the same, with potential energy at the top transforming into kinetic energy at the bottom.


Where on a hill would kenetic forces be highest?

The kinetic forces would be highest at the bottom of the hill where the speed of the object is the greatest as it descends due to the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy.


Can kinetic energy ever be more than its potential energy?

Sure. For example, if an object is at ground level, or below, and moving, then its potential energy would be zero or negative; while its kinetic energy would be positive. Note: The reference level for "gravitational potential energy" is quite arbitrary. Often the ground level is chosen.


What is the energy of a playground swing at its highest point?

As the swing moves, potential energy changes into kinetic energy. At the highest position all energy is gravitational potential energy as the swing has stopped at its highest position. Then the energy is converted back to kinetic energy, KE as it descends.


Does a water fall have kinetic energy?

Yes, it does. Kinetic energy is energy in motion. If you have a waterfall, the energy within it is constantly being moved. If it were perhaps a waterfall that was frozen over, then it would not have kinetic energy; it would have potential energy. Relative to the pool at the bottom, the water at the top has potential energy until it reaches the edge. After it spills over, each kilogram of water loses 9.8 joules of potential energy and gains 9.8 joules of kinetic energy for every meter it falls. When it reaches the bottom, all of the potential energy it had at the top has been converted to kinetic energy.


What does the phrase foot of the stairs mean?

To Progress{the sky is the limit}.


Would juice in an orange be potential energy or kinetic energy?

The juice in an orange would be considered potential energy because it is stored energy that has the potential to be released when the orange is squeezed or consumed.


Would a falling walnut have potential energy?

Yes, a falling walnut would have potential energy due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field. As it falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


Where can you find at the bottom of the stairs?

At the end of a rainbow, one might find a pot of gold. At the bottom of the stairs, you might find a floor, a drunk, trash, a rug, some spilled nails, etc. Probably not a pot of gold. As for "Where can you find at the bottom" I guess the answer would be "keep going down and the bottom is there."
