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
If you lift an apple from the ground to some point above ground the gravitational potential energy in the system increases the potential energy is stored where?
the gravitational field between earth and the apple
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.
The energy an object has because of its position is called?
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
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.

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
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.
The stored energy an object has a result of its height above the ground is?
Gravitational potential energy or GPE.
What is the definiton of gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is a type of energy that an object possesses because of where it is placed in a gravitational field. The higher the object the more energy it has, so if you had an object that was on the ground and then you put it on a high shelf then it would have more energy when it is on the shelf.
Can you have maximum gravitational potential energy and maximum gravitational kinetic energy at the same point?
No, gravitational portential energy is more with more hight and gravitational kinetic energy is maximum just before reaching the ground.
