When a coconut falls when does it have gravitational potential energy?
An object has potential engergy when it is any height above the ground. The object does not have to be moving to have engergy. This is like a stored energy. It takes energy to move or raise an object to a height level. This object now has stored that energy.
How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravatational potential energy?
The gravitational potential energy of an object increases with both its mass and height. The formula for gravitational potential energy is PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the object above the reference point. As the mass or height increases, so does the gravitational potential energy.
How does the change in potential energy equal the work done on an object?
When the potential energy of an object changes, it is because work has been done on the object. This means that the amount of work done on the object is equal to the change in its potential energy.
How is potential energy related to the work done on an object?
Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or condition. The work done on an object can change its potential energy by transferring energy to or from the object.
How does a change in mass affect the potential and kinetic energy of an object, and could you explain the specific impact of this change on the overall energy of the object?
When the mass of an object changes, its potential and kinetic energy also change. An increase in mass leads to an increase in potential and kinetic energy, while a decrease in mass results in a decrease in both types of energy. This change in mass directly impacts the overall energy of the object, as the total energy of the object is the sum of its potential and kinetic energy.
What is potential engergy?
Energy that is stored within an object.
How are electric current and potential difference related?
Potential engergy is the engergy an object has based upon the height from the ground. Electric current also seeks an electrical ground. The symbols and equations are quite similar as I recall in my Physics.

What tool measures earths gravatational pull on an object?
A bathroom scale does that job very well.

Does an object mass change potential energy?
Kinematics
What does gravatational potential energy mean?
It means that if an object is elevated to a higher position, it has more energy. It takes work to push the object up against Earth's gravitation; this work can be recovered when the object goes down again. While it is up, you can think of energy being saved in the object due to its position. More precisely, the energy is saved in the system Earth-object.

How does potential change into kinetic?
Usually by allowing an object to fall.
What object is energy stored in to cause change?
potential energy
