Picking up the box gives it kinetic energy. When the box is sitting on the shelf, it has potential energy.

What is three objects that have potential energy?

A book placed on a shelf, a coiled spring, and water stored in a dam all have potential energy.


If to vases are side-by-side on a shelf how could one have more potential energy?

IF the shelf is horizontal and both vases are absolutely identical, they will both have the same potential energy. However if they are different, then the vase that has the most mass will have more potential energy.


What is an example of an object that has potential energy?

Water in a hydroelectric dam has potential energy that came from the Sun's energy evaporating it and raising it up from the oceans. The energy is released by running the water down a chute so that it gains kinetic energy which drives a water turbine and that drives an electric generator.


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 term is used to describe the map of where each item is placed on a shelf?

Why when i Picked up a rock a shadow person came that night?

Like what I mean is I picked up a piece of concrete And placed it on my shelf at the edge of my bed And I woke without reason and saw it I was able to move So it wasn't sleep paralysis in fact I got under my Covers and fell asleep.


When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf what changes?

Gravitational potential energy


Why does a book on a high shelf have more potential energy than on a low shelf?

Well, honey, that book on the high shelf has more potential energy because it's got farther to fall. Gravity's just itching for the chance to show off its power and send that book plummeting down to the ground. So, the higher the book, the more potential energy it's got stored up just waiting to be unleashed.


Which has more kinetic energy a book on top shelf or book on bottom shelf?

A book on the bottom shelf usually has more kinetic energy because it has the potential to fall from a greater height than a book on the top shelf. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.


How if two vases are side by on a shelf one could have more potential energy?

If one vase is placed higher on the shelf than the other, it will have more potential energy due to its higher position above the ground. Potential energy is directly proportional to an object's distance from the reference point, which in this case is the ground.


Does a book sitting on a shelf have potential energy?

Yes, a book sitting on a shelf has potential energy due to its position. When you lift the book off the shelf, its potential energy decreases as it moves closer to the ground.


The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?

no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf
