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.

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
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
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!
Is a book on a shelf potential energy?
Yes it is. Because it has the POTENTIAL of falling off. Very simple physics, learned that in 6th grade.
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 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
What energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
The potential energy of the book on the shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf. This is because the potential energy of an object at a certain height is equivalent to the work done against gravity to lift it to that height.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf what changes?
Gravitational potential energy
Is t true the kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
no
Book is to shelf as plate is to?
Kinetic Energy
True or false the kinetic energy of a book shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
false
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
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
What kind of energy does a book on shelf have?
It has mechanical energy. The exact type of energy is potential.
Is a book falling from a book shelf kinetic or potential?
When a book is falling from a bookshelf, it is in a state of kinetic energy because it is in motion. Potential energy arises when the book is stationary on the shelf due to its height above the ground.
How can you increase the potential energy in a book sitting on a bookshelf?
put the book higher up on the shelf
