Yes it is. Because it has the POTENTIAL of falling off. Very simple physics, learned that in 6th grade.

Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf
What is the relationship between the work done to lift a book to place it on a bookshelf and the potential energy of the book on the shelf?
There is no direct relationship because the potential energy of the book on the shelf is defined relative to an arbitrary base line at which the potential energy would be zero. The work done in raising the book is the increase in the potential energy of book from however much PE it had in its previous location - for example, on a lower shelf.
Does a book sitting on a shelf have gravitational potential energy?
YES!
What energy is a book on a shelf?
Potential Energy If it falls, it will then be subject of gravity, so it has the potential of becoming energetic. -------------------- The bookshelf could also catch fire and the book would release energy as heat.
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf what changes?
Gravitational potential energy
What energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
Potential

Does a book sitting on a shelf have gravitational potential energy?
YES!
What kind of energy does a book on shelf have?
It has mechanical energy. The exact type of energy is potential.
What form of stored energy does a book have while it is still on a high shelf?
How does a book on a higher shelf have more potential energy than a book on the lower shelf
How can you the amount of potential energy in a book sitting on a bookshelf?
Place it on a higher shelf. If it has to stay on the same shelf, then its potential energy can only be increased by adding some pages to it.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower what changes?
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf, the only significant thing that changes is the potential energy of the book: when the book is on the higher shelf, it's potential energy will be higher than when it is on a lower shelf.Potential energy is calculated using the formula:PE = mghWhere:m = mass of the objecth = height of the objectg = force of gravity
Why does a book on a high shelf have more potential energy than on a low shelf?
Since potential energy equals mgh. When h, height increases potential energy also increases. If h is 0 then p.e is 0/
What sort of energy does a book have if it falls off a high shelf?
Before it falls it has gravitational potential energy. While it falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Part of this gets dissipated by friction - mainly converted to heat. Once it hits the ground, all the energy will be converted to heat.
