∙ 15y agoPotential energy is vague, which consists of gravitational potential energy, chemical potential energy , etc.
How to increase Gravtiational potential energy?
Gravitational energy = mass x gravity constant x height
looking at the equation,
by increasing the height or increasing the mass.
Chemical potential energy is basically stored energy, increasing the mass of the stored energy.

∙ 7y agoIf it is resting on the shelf it has no kinetic energy, since it isn't moving.It will have non-zero gravitational potential energy if it is not exactly at ground level (or whatever other reference level you decide to use).

∙ 6y agoPotential energy is the energy required to move something against a conservative force - or to keep it there. To increase potential energy, you have to push something against a conservative force. For instance, in the case of gravitational potential energy, push something up.

If it has to stay on the same shelf, then its potential energy can only be increased
by adding some pages to it.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoWe can increase the potential energy of an object by applying more energy on it
Wiki User
∙ 6y agoIncrease mass, move a object higher up, set a object closer to a ledge, if it is moving then make it stop the kinetic energy will be converted into potential,
Hope this helps

What sort of energy does a book have if it falls off a high shelf?
Before it falls it has gravitational potential energy. While it falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Part of this gets dissipated by friction - mainly converted to heat. Once it hits the ground, all the energy will be converted to heat.
If gravity is the only force present what is the total mechanical energy of a book falling off a shelf at a time when its potential energy is 50 J and its kinetic energy is 60 J?

How much kinetic energy does a book have just it hits the floor?
Just about as much as it had potential energy before it started falling - since most of the potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy. The exact amount depends from how high it falls.
Does a book sitting on a self have potential energy?
its physics term for the fact that it is not in motion (kinetic energy) but it is above the ground, so at any moment it could "potentially" have kinetic energy by falling to the floor.
What is the relationship between the work done while moving a book to a higher bookshelf and the potential energy that the book has on higher shelf?
Potetial energy is the energy an object has because of its position or location, or its energy of position.
Is a book falling from a book shelf kinetic or potential?
When a book is falling from a bookshelf, it is in a state of kinetic energy because it is in motion. Potential energy arises when the book is stationary on the shelf due to its height above the ground.
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

Book is to shelf as plate is to?
Kinetic Energy
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf what changes?
Gravitational potential energy
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
Does a book falling from a shelf have gravitational energy?
Yes; while on the shelf it has potential energy due to gravity of mgh where m = mass and g =gravity acceleration and h is height fom floor. As it falls its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy mv squared/2 where v = velocity
Is nuclear energy kinetic energy or potential?
nuclear energy is kinetic my son showed me his text book and it says kinetic
If gravity is the only force present what is the total mechanical energy of a book falling off a shelf at a time when its potential energy is 50 J and its kinetic energy is 60 J?
