An object that stores gravitational potential energy is an object that is positioned at a height above a reference point, such as the ground. The higher the object is lifted, the more gravitational potential energy it will possess due to its position in the gravitational field.

A raised object has energy in its energy stores?

The raised object has gravitational potential energy stored in it due to its position above the ground. This energy is related to the object's height and mass. When the object is released and falls, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it moves downward.


What stores enegry?

Stored energy is potential energy. Whether it's chemical potential(energy in chemical bonds) or gravitational potential energy(an object held at a certain height above the ground).


What everyday object uses all forms of potential energy?

An everyday object that uses all forms of potential energy is a wind-up alarm clock. It stores energy in the form of mechanical potential energy when it is wound up, gravitational potential energy when placed at a height, and elastic potential energy in its spring mechanism.


What stores gravitational potential energy?

Which things are stores of gravitational potential energy?

Objects at a height above the ground such as a book on a shelf, a pendulum at its peak, and water in a raised reservoir are examples of stores of gravitational potential energy.


When an object is lifted where does the potential energy come from?

The potential energy of an object as it is being lifted comes from the work done against gravity to move the object to a higher position. This work done is converted into potential energy, stored in the object as its height increases.


In the area of physics what is potential energy?

Potential energy is a form of energy that is stored within an object and it can be released or converted into another form of energy. Potential energy is most often associated with restoring forces such as in a spring, which stores potential energy when compressed or stretched.


What types of energy is stored in a parachute?

A parachute stores potential energy when packed, and then converts this energy into kinetic energy when deployed during a fall. The kinetic energy is generated as the parachute slows down the descent of an object by increasing air resistance and drag.


Is DNA potential energy?

No, DNA is a molecule that stores genetic information, not potential energy. Potential energy refers to the stored energy an object has due to its position or state.


How is potential energy is used?

potential energy is the energy that an object has stored up. kinetic energy is an object in motion. :) hi ppl :)))))))


What energy is stored in a bookshelf?

A bookshelf stores potential energy due to its position in the gravitational field. When books are placed on the shelf, they contribute to the potential energy by their mass and position above the ground.


What are pumped storage reservoirs?

The method stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
