Gravitational potential energy
How does a book on a higher shelf have more potential energy than a book on the lower shelf
no
Shelf.
The shelf in a hatch back is a partial shelf. A parcel is a package.
The potential energy of the object is given by the formula: potential energy = mass * gravitational acceleration * height. Plugging in the values: potential energy = 5 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 3 m = 147 Joules.
The potential energy of the 3-kg vase can be calculated using the formula: potential energy = mass * gravity * height. With a mass of 3 kg, gravity as 9.81 m/s^2, and a height of 2.5 meters, the potential energy would be approximately 73.58 Joules.
Gravitational potential energy
Yes, an object can have potential energy when it is at rest, such as gravitational potential energy or elastic potential energy. Kinetic energy, which is energy of motion, requires the object to be moving.
Yes, a book sitting on a shelf has potential energy due to its position. When you lift the book off the shelf, its potential energy decreases as it moves closer to the ground.
If you performed 40 joules of work lifting a 10 N box, and assuming the work done is equal to the gravitational potential energy gained by the box, you can calculate the height of the shelf using the formula for gravitational potential energy: PE = mgh, where PE is the potential energy (40 J), m is the mass of the box (m = 10 N/g ≈ 1.02 kg), g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2), and h is the height. Solving for h, you can find the height of the shelf.
Potential energy.
The potential energy of the safe can be calculated using the formula: Potential energy = mass x gravitational acceleration x height. Plugging in the values, we get: Potential energy = 20 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 0.5 m = 98 Joules. Therefore, the potential energy of the safe is 98 Joules.
Yes, the hatbox on the top shelf of the closet possesses potential energy due to its position above the ground. This potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy if the hatbox falls from the shelf.
Potential energy takes many different definitions, but the most common is due to gravity. Say move a book from the floor to a shelf that is one meter above the ground. The book has a mass of 2 kilograms. While the book is on the floor, it has zero potential energy. Since potential energy is defined as the height times the mass times the gravitational constant, and height is equal to zero at that point, there is no potential energy. But when it is moved to one meter high, the math goes as follows: 1 meter X 2 kilograms X 9.8 meters per second squared(The gravitaional Constant) = 19.6 Joules(The unit of potential energy).
The potential energy of the vase can be calculated using the formula: Potential Energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * height. Plugging in the values: Potential Energy = 3 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.5 m = 73.5 Joules.
Potential energy, specifically gravitational potential energy, since the book has the potential to fall due to gravity when it is on the high shelf.
