How is voltage similar to gravitational potential energy?
It isn't. Voltage can be compared to the GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL, which is a concept that is related, but different from, gravitational potential energy.Voltage is the energy change PER UNIT CHARGE between two points. Gravitational potential is the energy PER UNIT MASS between two points.
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
What is the potential emery of a 10 newton book on a shelf 2.5 meters high?
For gravitational potential energy: PE = weight x height PE = mgh (that is, mass x gravity x height) The first formula is appropriate in this case, since you already know the weight.
How high is an apple above the ground if its gravitational potential energy is 175 jouleand its mass is 0.36 kilograms?
PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, g is 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Solve for h.h = PE/m•g = 175 Joules/(0.36kg)(9.8m/s2) = 49.6m = 5.0 x 101m rounded to 2 significant figures
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.
When does an object have gravitational potential energy?
Well gravitational potential energy is potential energy that depends on the height of an object so an object would have gravitational potential energy when ever it's of the ground or at a high height (it doesn't have to be very high) for example if you lift up a ball it has the potential to fall or if your climbing a mountain you have gravitational potential energy.
Which energy stored by being high up?
"Gravitational potential" or just "potential" energy.
How much does your gravitational potential energy change when you jump as high as you can?

What is the definiton of gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is a type of energy that an object possesses because of where it is placed in a gravitational field. The higher the object the more energy it has, so if you had an object that was on the ground and then you put it on a high shelf then it would have more energy when it is on the shelf.

Does potential energy involve position?
There are several different varieties of potential energy, some of which involve position and some of which don't. Gravitational potential energy involves position. High objects have the potential to fall.
Can chemical energy be converted to gravitational potential energy?
By using chemicals in a rocket engine to raise a vehicle high above the earth's surface, the vehicle will gain gravitational potential energy. It will also gain kinetic energy, depending on what trajectory it follows
How can you tell that a high diver has gravitational potential energy?
If an object is above ground level, it has positive gravitational potential energy. (This assumes you define ground level to be zero - actually, you can define any level to be zero.)
Does an object with high gravitational potential energy always have a low kinetic energy?
No. For example, a satellite in orbit has a lot of both.
What kind of energy does a hammer have when it is held high above a nail?
The hammer will have potential energy. It is because of the height.
What is the potential energy of an apple is 6 joules the apple is 3 meters high what is the mass of the apple?
The idea is to use the formula for potential energy: PE = mgh. Replace the numbers you know, and solve for the missing number.
How can you tell a high diver has gravitational potential energy?
If an object - in this case the high diver - is above the reference level, then its gravitational potential energy will be positive.Note that the reference level is arbitrary, but quite often, the ground level is chosen for calculations of gravitational potential energy.
