How is the conservation of energy applied to an object in free fall from a height h to the ground?
In free fall, the object converts its potential energy at height h into kinetic energy as it falls. The conservation of energy principle states that the total energy (sum of potential and kinetic energy) of the object remains constant if we ignore factors like air resistance. Therefore, as the object falls from height h to the ground, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases, with the total mechanical energy remaining constant throughout the fall.
What is a situation in which gravitational potential energy might be dangerous?
A tall object, such as a heavy object on a high shelf, has gravitational potential energy that could be dangerous if it were to fall. If the object were to fall, it could cause serious injury to anyone in its path due to the transfer of its gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy.
What energy is the elevated energy an object has when it's in an elevated position?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
When you lift an object energy is transferred to an object which gives the object?
When you lift an object, you are transferring energy in the form of work done against gravity. This added energy gives the object potential energy, which is stored energy due to its position relative to the earth's surface.
How does energy remain constant during free fall?
Let's assume the object is falling down (this is only one case of free fall). Its speed increases, therefore, its kinetic energy increases. However, to compensate, the object loses energy of position - potential energy. The sum of the two, kinetic energy + potential energy, remains constant, as long as no other forces (other than gravity) act on the object.
Does lowering an object decrease its potential energy?
Yes. One type of potential energy is gravitational potential energy, or how much energy an object has based on how far it can fall. If you lower an object, it loses gravitational potential energy because it can't fall as far. Likewise, if you raise an object, it gains G.P.E.
What form of energy is stored in any object that can fall?
frigerader ice Potential energy.

How does an object affect the height of the object?
Directly. The greater the potential fall, the greater the potential energy.

When does a falling object have the greatest energy?
A falling object has the greatest potential energy when it is highest, at the beginning of the fall. It has the greatest kinetic energy when it is at its lowest, at the end of the fall. Without taking friction or air resistance into account, the beginning potential energy is the same as the final kinetic energy. If friction is considered, the beginning potential energy is greater.
The energy that is given to an object that is lifted?
Potential energy is the energy of location. Gravitational potential energy is given by lifting an object, and is defined by the equation Ep = mgh, or mass * acceleration due to gravity * height.
What type of energy does an object about to fall?
potential because it hasn't fallen yet so its not using any energy
What is the difference between kinetic and potential enrgy?
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, while potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or state. Kinetic energy is dependent on an object's velocity, while potential energy is dependent on its height, position, or configuration.
