No. That's one of the properties of gravity ... the work required to go from

one point to another depends only on the difference in height between the

two points, and not on the path. A 'field' in which this is true is called a

'conservative' field. The electrostatic field is another one.

What energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?

The potential energy of the book on the shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. This is because the potential energy of an object at a certain height is equivalent to the work done against gravity to lift it to that height.


Is t true the kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?

no


True or false the kinetic energy of a book shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?

false


The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?

no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf


Does a book sitting on a shelf have potential energy?

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.


What is the relationship between the work done to lift a book to place it on a bookshelf and the potential energy of the book on the shelf?

There is no direct relationship because the potential energy of the book on the shelf is defined relative to an arbitrary base line at which the potential energy would be zero. The work done in raising the book is the increase in the potential energy of book from however much PE it had in its previous location - for example, on a lower shelf.


Can you paint shelf liner?

You can paint shelf liner but it may not look so good if it starts to lift.


Do you do work when you lift it from the floor to a shelf?

Yes, work is done when you lift an object from the floor to a shelf. Work is the exertion of a force over a distance, and in this case, the force is applied to overcome gravity in lifting the object to a higher position.


How can I remove a closet shelf?

To remove a closet shelf, first empty it of any items. Then, locate the screws or brackets holding the shelf in place and use a screwdriver or drill to remove them. Carefully lift the shelf out of the closet and dispose of it properly.


Does the lift depend on the surface area of the balloons?

NO...


How much weight can a mouse lift?

The weight that a mouse can lift will depend on its size. It is estimated that mice can lift things that twice their body weight.


As you lift a book into the air what kind of energy are you increasing in the book?

You are increasing the book's gravitational potential energy as you lift it higher against the force of gravity.
