There are different types of potential energy, so it really depends what potential energy you are talking about. Gravitational potential energy can be calculated as the product of mass, gravity, and height, so you can increase it by using a greater mass, or placing it at a greater height above the reference level (for example, above the ground level).

As frequency increases the energy of a wave increases or decreases?

As frequency increases the energy of a wave also increases.


As tempreture increases what energy increases?

Kinetic energy of particles.


What kind of energy increases when temperature increases?

The kinetic energy of particles increases when temperature increases. This is because the particles move faster and collide more frequently at higher temperatures, leading to an overall increase in thermal energy.


What happens to the amplitude of the wave if the energy increases?

If the energy of a wave increases, the amplitude of the wave also increases. This is because amplitude is directly proportional to energy - as energy increases, more energy is imparted to the wave causing it to oscillate with greater magnitude.


When the kinetic energy of atoms increases thermal energy increases or decreases?

Thermal energy (temperature) is the measurement of kinetic energy of atoms moving in a substance, therefore, as the speed (kinetic energy) of these atoms increases, thermal energy increases as well.


When the particles of an object move the thermal energy increases?

No, when the temperature of an object increases its motion also increases because when temperature increases kinetic energy increases and thus the motion increases.


What happens to an objects kinetic energy as its velocity increases?

Kinetic Energy increases as velocity increases. Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * Mass * Velocity2


What increases when the frequency of a wave increases?

Photon energy and frequency increases as the wavelength of light?

The energy increases as the frequency increases.The frequency decreases as the wavelength increases.So, the energy decreases as the wavelength increases.


When you throw something what kind of energy increases as its height increases?

Gravitational potential energy.


As height increases what happens to kinetic energy?

As height increases, the potential energy of an object also increases while the kinetic energy remains the same. When the object falls, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.


What property of a wave increases as the waves energy inceases?

An increase in energy corresponds to an increase in frequency or a decrease in wavelength.
