Elastic potential energy is gained the more it is stretched (like a catapault or rubber band)

Gravitational potential energy is increased if the object is raised higher up (further away from the centre of gravity)

What type of energy do you gain as you cycle up a hill?

You gain Potential Energy as you cycle up a hill.


When does a coaster have a large amount of Kinetic Energy and when does it have a large amount of Potential Energy?

The coaster have a large amount of potential energy when it gain height, kinetic energy when it gain speed instead.


How many joules of potential energy does a 1N book gain when it is elevated 4m?

If Gravitational potential energy = weight X height, then the book should gain 4joules


Suppose a falling object loses 7J of potential energy. How much kinetic energy will it gain?

From what I understand: PE - Potential Energy (mgh) KE - Kinetic Energy (1/2 mv2) If one dismisses the friction with air (conservation of energy), a loss of 7 joules for potential energy means a gain of 7 Joules in kinetic energy.


How does something gain gravitational potential?

An object gains gravitational potential energy when it is raised above the Earth's surface. The increase in distance from the center of the Earth leads to an increase in potential energy due to the gravitational force between the object and the Earth.


When you do work to lift an object what form of energy does the object gain?

The object gains potential energy when you do work to lift it. This potential energy is due to its position in the gravitational field.


What is the Energy transformation when climbing up a rope ladder?

When climbing up a rope ladder, the potential energy of the person increases as they gain height. This increase in potential energy comes from the conversion of the person's muscle energy into gravitational potential energy.


What are two main types of potential energy?

The two main types of potential energy are gravitational potential energy, which is energy stored in an object based on its height above the ground, and elastic potential energy, which is energy stored in objects that are stretched or compressed, such as a spring.


Does solar panel have potential energy?

If it is off of the ground then yes, because it could gain energy by falling.


Does something gain potential energy while falling?

Yes, an object gains potential energy while falling due to its position in a gravitational field. As the object falls towards the Earth, its potential energy decreases, converting into kinetic energy.


How do I calculate the gravitational potential energy gain?

Gravitational potential energy gain can be calculated using the formula: PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/s^2 on Earth), and h is the height the object is lifted to. Simply multiply the mass, gravitational acceleration, and height to determine the gravitational potential energy gain.
