The shape of an object is typically irrelevant
in calculating its potential energy.
Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or condition. Energy is a property of objects.
potential energy.......................
When an object is at a position above the ground, it has gravitational potential energy. This is so because of the force of gravity that tends to pull objects to the ground.
The energy that an object have due to its movement or position is called the mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy of an object is equal to the sum of the potential energy and kinetic of an object in an instant. The potential energy is dependent on the height from the ground and the mass of the object; Kinetic energy is dependent on the mass and the velocity of the object.
No, that is potential energy. Kinetic is only possessed by moving objects
The shape of an object is typically irrelevant in calculating its potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy.
Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or condition. Energy is a property of objects.
An objects Potential Energy is because of its position.
potential energy.......................
There are several different varieties of potential energy, some of which involve position and some of which don't. Gravitational potential energy involves position. High objects have the potential to fall.
Gravitational potential energy
weight times height
... the masses of the bodies involved and the distance between them.
When an object is at a position above the ground, it has gravitational potential energy. This is so because of the force of gravity that tends to pull objects to the ground.
Potential energy of a body with certain mass is proportional to the vertical position of the body with respect to the ground. Potential energy of the string is proportional to second degree of displacement from the point of equilibrium.
They can have potential energy from gravity by being at a position above ground level.
