What is an example of gravitational potential?
An apple hanging from a tree has gravitational potential energy...anything which could fall to the ground has gravitational potential energy
Is the gravotational potential energy more less or unchanged when the CG of an object is raised?
When the CG of an object is raised, gravitational potential energy increases due to a higher positioning from the ground, and therefore a higher "potential" to fall.
When a ball is falling what is the energy change?
As a ball fall downwards, it's velocity continuously increases, therefore the kinetic energy increases. As the height from the ground level decreases, the potential energy decreases. Further, the total mechanical energy remains constant throughout the motion.
When does an object have gravitational potential energy?
Well gravitational potential energy is potential energy that depends on the height of an object so an object would have gravitational potential energy when ever it's of the ground or at a high height (it doesn't have to be very high) for example if you lift up a ball it has the potential to fall or if your climbing a mountain you have gravitational potential energy.
When does potential energy increase?
If using the formula U=mgh, then potential energy increases when the height above the ground increases.

What is the gravitational potential energy equation?
Gravitational potential energy = Mass x gravity x heightTherefore, an object at ground level is 0 meters above the ground, thus having no potential energy.PE = mghm = massg = gravitational accelerationh = height
When does potential energy increase?
If using the formula U=mgh, then potential energy increases when the height above the ground increases.
What increases with its height above the ground?
Potential Energy
What is energy stored energy?
Potential
When you lift an object off the ground how are you changing its energy?
You are changing the object's gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy due to position of the object above the Earth. This energy has the potential to be transformed into Kinetic Energy if the object falls.
The energy an object has because of its position is called?
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
How can you tell that a high diver has gravitational potential energy?
If an object is above ground level, it has positive gravitational potential energy. (This assumes you define ground level to be zero - actually, you can define any level to be zero.)
How is work related to gravitational potential energy?
As we lift a body of mass m from ground level to a height h, then work performed will be mgh which is equal to the difference in gravitational potential energy at the ground level and at that height.
