What energy does an object possess because of its position in a gravitational field?
That is called gravitational potential energy. When no confusion is possible, it might just be called "potential energy", although there are other types of potential energy, such as the potential energy in an electrical or magnetic field.
How might a system be described in terms of matter and energy?
A system can be described in terms of matter by looking at the particles it contains, such as atoms and molecules. In terms of energy, a system can be described by the energy it possesses or exchanges with its surroundings, including potential energy (due to position or composition) and kinetic energy (due to motion). Together, the matter and energy within a system contribute to its overall properties and behavior.
Is eletrical energy a form of potential or kinetic energy?
Electromagnetic energy is just a name used to describe various forms of energy that are related to electricity & magnetism. So electromagnetic energy might include the kinetic energy of moving charges, or the potential energy between charges or magnets or it might refer to the energy of radiation, which is neither kinetic or potential energy.
What does potiental energy mean?
Potential energy refers to the energy arising from the arrangement of a system of objects (particles), which interact with each other. Here, interaction means that objects apply force on each other. A change in the arrangement brings about a change in the forces interacting on the objects and the associated potential energy.
What is a situation in which gravitational potential energy might be dangerous?
A tall object, such as a heavy object on a high shelf, has gravitational potential energy that could be dangerous if it were to fall. If the object were to fall, it could cause serious injury to anyone in its path due to the transfer of its gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.
Is electromagnet potential energy?
Electromagnetic energy is just a different form of energy. So electromagnetic energy might include potential energy. It might refer to the energy of radiation, which isn't potential energy. see external link
Stored energy and the energy of position are what energy?
You might be thinking of so-called potential energy.

That is called gravitational potential energy. When no confusion is possible, it might just be called "potential energy", although there are other types of potential energy, such as the potential energy in an electrical or magnetic field.
How might the potential energy of water in a dam be increased?
By filling the dam with more water, because by doing that it gains more gravitational potential energy which is the same as potential energy.
Is electromagnetic kinetic or potential?
Electromagnetic energy is just a name used to describe various forms of energy that are related to electricity & magnetism. So electromagnetic energy might include the kinetic energy of moving charges, or the potential energy between charges or magnets or it might refer to the energy of radiation, which is neither kinetic or potential energy.
Why do substance s expand when energy is added to them as heat?
When heat is added to a system, it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules. Increased K.E in system causes molecules to move further away from each other. This causes system to increase in volume. Significant increase in volume might not occur but at microscopic level it definitely changes.

What is the best synonym for potential energy?
If you refer to gravitational potential energy, you may call it "gravitational energy". However, potential energy may refer to a variety of energy types, including chemical and nuclear energy. You might informally call it "energy of position", but that is not very accurate.
What is the total energy of all the particles in an object called?
potential energy
Situation in which gravitational potential energy might be useful?
A roller coaster
What are two forms of potential energy?
In apex, the answers for 2 potential energies, the answers are Elastic, and Magnetic energy.
