Gravitation helps growing plants orient themselves to grow upwards, rain and water to move downwards, birds to shape nests to hold eggs rather than have them float away, hot air to rise, air to stay around a planet rater than disappear into space, ice to float, water to lay in ponds lakes and oceans, silt to settle out and many other important functions.
What else can I help you with?
What effect does the planet have on gravitational potential energy?
The planet IS the source of gravitational (potential) energy.
What is the effect of height on gravitational potential energy?
Height 'h', increases the gravitational potential energy E = - mGm/h.
Does speed affect gravitational potential energy of an object?
Does speed 'effect' the gravitational potential energy of an object? No, but gravitational potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy - so the gravitational potential energy can effect the speed. Ep = mgh Energy Potential = mass * 9.81 (gravity) * height Speed / Velocity is absent from that equation.
What effects gravitational potential energy?
PE=mgh So the 2 factors that effect gravitational potential energy are: -Mass of the object. -The height of the object.
How does nuclear energy effect the environment?
it kills plants.
What negative effect's can solar energy have on the environment and how?
none
How the effect on energy losses on the environment?
world of warcraft
What is the effect of energy transfer to the environment?
global warming
Is gravitational energy an example of kinetic energy?
No, gravitational energy is a form of potential energy, not kinetic energy. Gravitational energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position in a gravitational field, while kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion.
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
The energy of position in this scenario is gravitational potential energy. This energy is determined by an object's position in a gravitational field, such as the height of the rock on the hill. It represents the potential for the object to do work if it were allowed to move to a lower position.
What may occur as an effect of waste heat on the environment?
Thermal Energy
What happens to the gravitational potential energy when water at the top of a waterfall falls to the pool below?
The gravitational potential energy of the water at the top of the waterfall is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. This energy is then transferred to the water and surrounding environment as thermal energy and sound upon impact with the pool below.
