Now that I think about it... I believe they do. The book being heavier would fall with more force than the feather if it fell off. You should research it.

Why does A stretched elastic or stretched string each have potential energy?

Think of a bowling ball sitting on a shelf. The ball itself is no different from a bowling ball sitting on the floor, but one of them contains enough potential energy to break the bones in your foot if you drop it. The energy that is converted when you stretch the elastic or string from its relaxed state is called potential energy by analogy, even though there's really no potential field equivalent to gravity.

How is kinetic energy different then potential energy?

WellKinetic energy Is The Energy Of Motion Were Potential Is Stored Energy For Example Say You Had a Hair Band And Flick It That's Kinetic Energy As Its In (Motion) There for If A Ball Is Sitting On A Floor Not Being Touched Is Potential Energy As The Energy's Being (Stored) There for the Different Is On Is Motion And The Other Is Stored :)Hope My Info Helped


What type of energy does a pebble sitting on the top of a mountain have?

It has potential energy.


How is potential and kenetic energy different?

Potential energy is the energy in which you have when you are standing or sitting still. Though doesn't have to be completely still, to be at least still and trying not to move, a majority of your energy is Potential. Kinetic energy is the energy of any and all living things. So, if you are moving, you have a majority of Kinetic energy. If you are being still, then you have Potential energy.
