i think this is a trick question because the formula for PE is mxgxh, where g is gravity and there is no gravity in space, so the answer to the formula would be 0

If there is no gravity Does potential energy of objects still exit Mechanical energy is produced by force. Gravity is a special force which is unlimited.Potential energy of objects is unlimited.?

If you leave earths gravitational field (sufficiently), objects will have a very negligible gravitational potential energy. You can consider it zero. But what if it were a compressed spring that you brought out into 'deep space'? It would still retain elastic potential energy. A bomb in deep space would still have explosive(?) potential energy. With that said, if you had two or more objects in deep space, they would have gravitational potential energy between the group of them, but not the earth.


Does a faster moving object has more potential energy?

No, potential energy depends on the height and mass of an object relative to a reference point, not its speed. The faster-moving object may have more kinetic energy, but potential energy is not affected by speed.


What is the electric potential at a point in space if a charge of 7.3 10-17 coulombs at that point has a potential energy of 6.4 10-17 joules?

The electric potential at a point in space is the electric potential energy per unit charge, so you can calculate it by dividing the potential energy by the charge at that point. In this case, the electric potential at the point would be 6.4x10^-17 J / 7.3x10^-17 C = 0.876 V.


Is there energy in space?

There is oxygen, carbondioxide, erosion, dirt, and weather in space, all of which have energy generating potential. So the answer is yes, though science hasn't permitted us to utilize any of this energy.


What is potintiel energy?

Potential energy is "stored energy" because of its position in space. For example, a car parked at the top of a hill, or the water behind a dam.


What are the key features and characteristics of a potential well diagram?

A potential well diagram typically shows a graph with a potential energy function that represents the energy levels of a particle in a confined space. The key features include the potential energy curve, the depth of the well, the width of the well, and the energy levels of the particle within the well. The characteristics of a potential well diagram can help illustrate how a particle behaves in a specific potential energy environment.


Where is gravitational potential energy found?

Gravitational potential energy is found in objects that are lifted above the ground, such as a book on a shelf or a satellite in space. It represents the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field.


Is chemical energy kinetic energy or potential energy?

Chemical energy is a form of potential energy stored in the bonds of chemicals. When these bonds are broken, the potential energy is converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.


How are potential and kinetic energy related?

Potential and kinetic energy are related in that potential energy is stored energy that can be converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. When an object has potential energy, it has the potential to move and therefore has the potential to have kinetic energy.


The chemical potential energy of a rocket is converted to what kind of energy?

The chemical potential energy of a rocket is typically converted into kinetic energy as the rocket moves through space. This kinetic energy results from the motion of the rocket and is responsible for propelling the rocket forward.


What are the two types of potential energy?

There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
