When does potential energy increase?
Potential energy increases when an object's position or configuration changes such that it is able to do work due to its stored energy. This can happen when an object is lifted higher against gravity, compressed, stretched, or charged with electrical or magnetic potential.
How do you increase the kinetic energy of an object?
To increase the kinetic energy of an object, you can either increase its mass or increase its velocity. Kinetic energy is directly proportional to both mass and velocity, so increasing either one of these factors will result in an increase in the object's kinetic energy.
What a water able a hydroelectric dam have kinetic energy or potential energy?
A hydroelectric dam primarily harnesses potential energy from the water stored in a reservoir behind it. As the water flows through the dam and turns turbines, some of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is then transformed into electrical energy.
What causes potential energy to be stored in an object?
Potential energy is stored in an object when work is done to change its position or shape, resulting in the object being able to do work in the future.
What is potential energy know as?
It is known as potential energy, but it comes in several flavors. A mass which has room to fall in a gravitational field is gravitic potential energy. A battery represents chemical potential energy, as do chemicals which can react, such as things that can burn plus oxygen. Thus coal, natural gas, and oil are all chemical potential energy. Any chemicals which can react and release energy represent chemical potential energy. A life form plus food for that life form is biological potential energy. Two objects at different temperatures represent thermal potential energy. Stored electric charge, such as a charged capacitor is electrical potential energy. A heavy flywheel rotating rapidly is kinetic energy, but it can also be thought of as mechanical potential energy. A naturally radioactive material such as radium can be thought of as nuclear potential energy as can induced radioactive fission in materials such as Uranium. Material which can undergo nuclear fusion such as hydrogen, deuterium, tritium, etc., represent nuclear fusion potential energy. An electromagnetic field represents em potential energy. Space may represent dark potential energy, which some day we may be able to tap.

What happens to thermal energy when temperatures increase?
When the temperature of a material increase, thermal energy is added to the material. It also increases the kinetic and potential energy of the particles. When the temperature reach the boiling or melting point, the kinetic energy stays the same, but the thermal energy and the potential energy still keeps adding and increasing. And when ONLY the potential energy increase, the state of the material changes from one to another.
Between which two letters on the transperecy does potential energy change to kinetic energy?
At the point where the ball is released, potential energy is at its highest (transferred from the person's hand) and kinetic energy begins to increase due to the ball's motion. This transition typically occurs between the letters 'A' and 'B'.

Objects that are able to fall have what type of energy?
When a body is supported at a height, it has potential energy. When it is released, it will start to fall. As the downward velocity increases, so kinetic energy increases. The potential energy is reduced as the height of the body decreases.
If you were able to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules inside your body your body temperature would?
increase as kinetic energy is directly related to temperature. The molecules would move faster, increasing collisions and thermal energy, causing an increase in body temperature.

Does evaporation have a cooling effect?
In order for liquid to evaporate, potential energy should first be acquired to be able to transform to gas. This energy will be stored as heat. Heat will not cause temperature to increase and this is known as latent heat. Boiling of water puts potential energy into it. Once it boils, the water evaporates into the air and also takes heat from the surroundings. This is what causes the cooling effect of evaporation.

When an electrical charge moves from a higher potential energy to a lower potential energy does what?
when an electric charger moves from higher to lower potential energy, it supplies energy to us but when it is moved from lower to higher potential, we have to supply energy to it........... because every thing has a tendency to move from a point of higher potential to lower potential........
What term is defined as able to do work?
Energy is the term defined as the capacity to do work. It exists in different forms, such as kinetic energy (energy in motion) and potential energy (stored energy).
