Gravitational potential energy depends on the difference of height. If the length of the ramp is changed, but the endpoints have the same difference in height, there won't be any change in gravitational potential energy. If, on the other hand, the change is done in a way that the height does change, then gravitational potential energy will also change.
The sun has both kinetic and potential energy. The kinetic energy comes from the constant nuclear reactions happening within its core, while the potential energy is derived from the gravitational forces holding the sun's mass together.
No, potential energy is not in motion. Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration in a force field. When the object is in motion, it will have kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.
I would think it as kinetic energy because it is moving.
Think of a cylindrical steel bar with cross section area A.If you hold it by both ends and pull them apart witha force F, the bar is been subject to a Tensile StressT, such that, T = F/A (units of newton/m2)If the forces had been in the opposite direction theywould have produced a Compression Stress.Now, suppose that the bar's original length is L, andbecause of the Tensile Stress that she has been putthrough it elongates dL meters. Then the StrainSTthe bar has suffer is: ST = L/dL (dimensionless)And so Strain is the deformation fraction the bodyexperiments as a response to a given Stress.
As the object falls, potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases. The total mechanical energy (sum of potential and kinetic energy) remains constant in the absence of air resistance.
I think it is the kinetic and potential energy but i am not sure
Potential
i think potential...but dont quote me or anything
They have potential energy
Think of a glo-stick. The chemicals found inside have chemical energy, they have the potential to change each other chemically. The relative position of the two chemicals causes the system to have potential energy as well, being that they are separated only by a thin, easily breakable barrier.
no it is not. i think...
The type of energy is called the potential energy i think

Yes. You can also think of potential energy as energy applied against some force, such as gravity, the force of a spring, etc.
Think about a battery-powered motor. (Granted, the energy is originally chemical potential, but it is transferred to electrical potential when it comes out of the battery.)
