When an 8 kg object increases its potential energy by 240 J how much has its position changed?

Just use the formula for potential energy:
PE = mgh
(potential energy = mass x gravity x height).
Use 9.8 for gravity, replace the parts you know, and solve for the unknown position (height).

The energy of position is what kind of energy?
That is called potential energy. For example, in the case of gravitational potential energy: If an object is raised, its potential energy increases.
What will happen to the potential and kinetic energy as the ball falls?
Gravitational potential energy increases; kinetic energy increases.
The kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion and position of an object is?
This is actually two questions. Energy relating to the motion of an object is kinetic energy. Energy related to its position is potential energy (as with a brick suspended at some distance above the ground). Release the brick and its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. The two are complementary. As the brick accelerates toward the ground its kinetic energy increases; as the distance decreases during that acceleration, it's potential energy decreases.
What type of energy is associated with the position of an object?
Potential energy is associated with the position of an object.
When does potential energy increase?
If using the formula U=mgh, then potential energy increases when the height above the ground increases.

What happens to potential energy as you increase the height or position of an object?
It increases.
When a body is disturbed from its position of neutral equillibrium what happens on potential energy?
increases
What will happen to the potential and kinetic energy as the ball falls?
Gravitational potential energy increases; kinetic energy increases.
How potential energy is changed to kinetic energy?
potential energy is changed to kinetic energy when you push.
Does something have grater speed when it has more potential energy or less?
It can be a little complicated but I'll do my best to explain.Quick Vocab: potential energy - the stored energy in an object because of its position, shape, or condition. Kinetic energy - the energy of an object due to its motion. The more potential energy an object has the more Kinetic energy it will have. Basically when the object is moved the potential energy is released and becomes kinetic energy. As the kinetic energy (speed) increases the Potential energy decreases.So yes, when the potential energy decreases the speed increases.

When did the potential energy of the ball begin to change to kinetic energy?
when the position of the BALL is changed WITH RESPECT TO HEIGHT then P.E change in to K.E
What type of energy is associated with the position of an object?
Potential energy is associated with the position of an object.
When a 8kg object increases its potential energy by 240j approximately how has its position changed?
Potential energy is calculated as follows:Eg = mghWhere:Eg = Potential Gravitation Energym = Object's massg = Gravitational constanth = Height difference from the point of relation (usually the ground).So when we input the data into our variables, we get:240J = 8kg10m/s2hand after some quick calculations:h = 3m
When does potential energy increase?
If using the formula U=mgh, then potential energy increases when the height above the ground increases.
When attractive force increases what happens to potential energy?
Potential energy will decrease.
