What is energy due to position or condition?
Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position or condition. Energy is a property of objects.
How do you calculate an objects mechanical energy?
An object's mechanical energy is the sum of the potential and kinetic energy it possesses.
Is the objects potential energy dependent on both the shape and position?
The shape of an object is typically irrelevant in calculating its potential energy.
Do flying objects have mechanical energy?
Yes. An object has mechanical energy if it has both Potential and Kinetic energy.
Which type of energy does a moving object have?
Kinetic Energy, or KE, is the energy objects have when in basic motion. If you are talking about the movement of particles in the object, creating heat, it is IE, Internal Energy. and FYI, Potential Energy, PE, is the energy an object has in accordance to its position.
What is an objects total and potential energy?
An objects total kinetic and potential energy is when both things are moving (kinetic) and the energy is stored in the object (potential)
An object that has potential energy may have this energy because of its?
An objects Potential Energy is because of its position.
Is potential energy an inanimate object or animate object?
Potential Energy is energy packed up and ready to be used. Kinetic energy is energy being used, or moving.
Definition objects at rest?
An object that has no kinetic energy, only potential energy.

Lowering an object decreases its potential energy?
Yes.Yes.Yes.Yes.
What objects have potential energy?
Any object that could fall to the ground has potential energy that would be exerted by the force of gravity when it falls.
What is the gravitational potential at infinity?
With potential energy, what matters is the difference in potential energy, not the energy in absolute terms. To simplify calculations, the gravitational potential at infinity is arbitrarily set to zero. This gives objects that are nearer than infinity (to any object that attracts them gravitationally), a negative potential energy.With potential energy, what matters is the difference in potential energy, not the energy in absolute terms.
