The potential energy of a substance decreases when it changes into a liquid. This is because it's losing the heat energy it had when in gas form to become liquid.

∙ 13y agoit decreases because you need to give energy (heat) to a liquid to become gas.

What type of energy increases with its height?
gravitational potential energy
The potential energy of a satellite in an elliptical orbit is?
The total energy of a satellite doesn't change. At its closest approach to the planet, it has the most kinetic energy and the least potential, whereas at its furthest retreat from the planet, it has the least kinetic energy and the most potential. But their sum ... the satellite's total mechanical energy ... is always the same. (It may gain heat energy when the sun is shining directly on it, and lose it when it's in the planet's cold shadow, but neither of those changes affects its orbit.)
What is the similarities between kinetic energy and potential energy?
kinetic energy depends on speed an potential energy depends on height and mass
Similarities between Kinetic energy potential energy electric energy and gravitational energy?
they are both measured in joules
A person jumping off niagara falls energy turns into what?
Potential energy turns into kinetic energy.
What happens to the value of the Gravitational Potential Energy of a system of objects as the value of r increases?
The Potential energy decreases as r increases.
How does the amount of energy in the light changes as the wavelength increases?
The energy of the photons decreases as the wavelength increases
How does potential energy turn to kenetic?
Potential energy turns into kinetic energy when an object at rest begins to move. As velocity increases, KE increases and PE decreases.
When a ball is falling what is the energy change?
As a ball fall downwards, it's velocity continuously increases, therefore the kinetic energy increases. As the height from the ground level decreases, the potential energy decreases. Further, the total mechanical energy remains constant throughout the motion.
What is the final velocity of an object that decreases in kinetic energy and increases in potential energy?
Its final velocity will be zero when it reaches maximum potential energy.
As a ball falls downward what energy decreases and what energy increases?
As a ball fall downwards, it's velocity continuously increases, therefore the kinetic energy increases. As the height from the ground level decreases, the potential energy decreases. Further, the total mechanical energy remains constant throughout the motion.
Does mechanical energy of a coconut falling from a tree increases or decrease?
Kinetic energy increases whilst potential energy decreases. Total remains constant
How is potential energy tansformed into kenetic energy?
For example, when an object falls, its potential energy decreases, but its kinetic energy increases, i.e., it falls faster and faster.
What happends to potential energy as a squashed ball regains its shape?
As the ball returns to its original shape, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases.
If an object that moves faster does it have greater potential energy?
no. if an object moves faster its kinetic energy increases but at the same time its potential energy decreases.
Does kinetic energy decreases as a box accelerates down an inclined plane?
Kinetic energy increases; potential energy decreases, because the object is now in motion
As the temperature of a gas decreases what changes occurs in the amount of kinetic energy?
The amount of kinetic energy increases.
