What is the total energy of all the particles in an object called?
potential energy
The thermal energy of an object is?
The total kinetic and potential energy of its particles.
What is the significance of negative energy of electron in an orbit?
Potential energy levels are often given as negative numbers. In the case of an electron, it's potential energy due to its location relative to the positively charged nucleus; the further away from the nucleus, the higher the energy level of the electron. So for convenience, physicists like to define potential energy levels at infinite distance (or separation) as "zero", and all others become negative. Since these forces (gravity, electromagnetic force) fall off with the square of distance, potential energies at finite (nonzero) distances aren't "negative infinity".
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.
What occurs when one object passes some or all of its energy to another object?
This is just a guess but I am pretty sure I am right. But the answer to this question might be 'energy conversion' Written by Brigitte.P age 13 Actually, no it's called kinetic energy
Is your hair an inanimate object?
If your hair is attached to you and you are an animate object than no but if your hair was not attached to you (fell out) than I guess it would be inanimate. :)
What is the Difference between animate and inanimate objects?
Animate objects are living organisms that can move, grow, and reproduce, such as animals and humans. Inanimate objects, on the other hand, are non-living things that do not possess life characteristics like movement, growth, or reproduction, such as rocks, chairs, and tables.
Is rain and Inanimate object?
usually animate and inanimate describes things that are living. i wouldn't necessarily consider water to be living. water isn't an object. it's a form of matter. it's a liquid. the result of a combination of elements.
Is a bell an inanimate object?
Yes, a bell is considered an inanimate object because it lacks life or consciousness. Although it can produce sound through physical means, it does not possess animate characteristics such as the ability to move or grow.
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.
Is matter an inanimate object?
it can be, or it can't be. everything you know about is made of matter both rocks and air and water and animals are matter therefore, matter is made of both living and nonliving things matter can be inanimate or animate
How does an object get gravitational potential energy?
An object gets gravitational potential energy by
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
Energy at a height is called what?
Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.
How does height effect the potential energy of an object?
the higher an object is the more potential energy it has
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.
