A book and a feather sitting next to each other on a shelf have different potential energies?

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.


What type of energy destroys other energies?

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is converted to other forms of energy. There is potential energy and kinetic energy. Sitting on your bicycle on top of the hill you have no kinetic energy, only potential energy. When you ride down the hill, the potential energy is used up (you go down the hill) and it converts to kinetic energy (speed). "What happens when you stop at the bottom of the hill - wasn't the potential and kinetic energy destroyed?" No. All the potential energy was converted to kinetic energy. The kinetic energy was converted to heat through the wind resistance. So, if you had an extremely accurate thermometer, you would see the air and bicycle temperature rise as you went down the hill.


Does electical energy transform into other energies?

yes


Two cars are lifted to the same elevation in a service station If one car is twice as massive as the other how do their potential energies compare?

potential energy is mgh where : m= mass g= gravity h= height everything is the same except mass. one car would be 2mgh and the other just mgh so the more massive car has twice as much potential energy. hope this helps!


Internal energy and enthalpy how differ and relate to each other?

Enthalpy mathematically is the sum of the internal energy and work done in a process.internal energy is the sum of the kinetic energy,potential energy,vibrational energies etc


Is solar energy?

Not necessarily. Energy can be solar energy in the form of thermal and light energies, but there are other types of energies, like kinetic or chemical.


How can you change potential energy of a sitting person into other type of energy?

if that person look in a negative way to any others may cause disturbance in others body if said sitting person look to others with real smile then that may cause pleasure storm to body of others if a sitting person order to disturb the situations that can using eye energy and mouth energy he can convert into other way as he desire where as he is sitting
