What is some examples of gravitational potential energy?
Any object that is higher than ground level in earth's gravitational field has potential energy stored in it. Examples: 1. A plane or bird in the sky 2. A parachutist 3. Water stored in a dam, or water tanks at some height above earth's surface 4. A satellite orbiting Earth
What are the 2 big categories that energy is divided into?
Two of the biggest areas of energy study in high school physics is kinetic energy (energy of an object that is moving) and potential energy (the potential of an object to do work - such as being being at the top of an inclined plane). However there are MANY other forms of energy.
Why gravitational constant is constant while when acceleration due to gravity is change?
gravity of earth is constant in any plane but the acceleration may vary becoz of irregular plane
How is energy transferred into an inclined plane?
Energy is transferred into an inclined by effort
If the same model plane travel 3 times faster than the same model airplane what is the kinetic energy of the faster plane?
The kinetic energy of an object varies as the square of its velocity (Kinetic energy = mv2/2). So a plane with the same mass travelling at 3 times the velocity will have 9 times the kinetic energy.
What is the change when an object is pushed along an inclined plane to a height?
The object's height and gravitational potential energy both increase.
What energy transformations occur in an rubber power airplane?
the stretch of the rubber band cause elastic energy the movement of the plane cause kinetic energy and the height causes gravitational potential energy
Why can't the output work be greater than the input work on the inclined plane?
Then efficiency would become more than one. This leads to the concept of creating energy which is against the law of conservation of energy. If there is a gravitational incline, moving down the plane can give an output of work greater than the "immediate" input, because of the gravitational potential energy. So if you ignored the gravitational potential energy, the output could be greater. If you don't ignore the gravity, then no; you can't create energy, you can only transform energy.
Where is potential energy stored in airplanes?
That might refer to the fuel, which has chemical energy. Also, any object that is above a reference level (for instance, the ground level) has gravitational potential energy. That energy isn't stored in a specific place; it is related to the interaction between the two objects - in this case, the plane and the Earth.
A wooden block is released from rest at the top of a frictionless inclined plan and slides down to the bottomWhat convertions of energy are taking place as the block goes down the inclined plane?
Gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
What is some examples of gravitational potential energy?

When a plane is landing it is gaining potential energy?
No, it's losing potential energy, since it gets lower.
When are an objects potential energy and kinetic energy equal?
When an object is stationary in a plane, (no hill or slope) then potential energy and kinetic energy are equal. Following the case, if an object is stationary at the top of a hill, it has stored energy (potential energy) due to gravitational attraction, as the force of gravity attracts the object towards the ground and once the object gets some kind of motion, all those potential energy will change to kinetic energy. **************************** Actually, the Object CAN be moving, but it is moving Parallel to its Reference Frame, and at a Constant Velocity.
What are the energy transfers of the six simple machines for example an incline plane is gravitational potential energy to mechanical energy. I want to know what are the other fives and for levers I would like to know class one and class 2?
\Delta E\Delta t\geq
What energy transformations occur when a person parachutes out of an airplane?
A person parachuting from a plane has already acquired potential energy by rising to whatever altitude the plane is at-this energy has been obtained from the fuel used by the plane. This energy is then turned into kinetic energy as a result of the earth's gravitational attraction, and the parachutist goes into freefall. Braking the speed of fall to make a safe landing, the kinetic energy is returned to the air which is slowing the parachute. The net change when the person lands is zero.
What energy transformation takes place when an object is pushed up an inclined plane?
chemical energy -----> potential energy -------> kinetic energy
What forces are action forces for a block on an inclined plane?
gravity and potential energy
