What would the gravitational potential energy be if the bucket of water were raised twice as high?

GPE = mass * acceleration of gravity * height.
Original GPE : m*g*h Joules
if you double the height, you get m*g*2h Joules, or 2*m*g*h -- twice the GPE.

What is gravitational potiential energy?
Potential energy is energy done to place something somewhere, against a force (not any force, it must be a so-called "conservative force", but I am only mentioning this for completeness sake). Specifically, gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has when it is raised above ground level. You need to supply energy (as work) to lift it up; in theory, this energy can be recovered if the object falls down.
Is the gravitational constant a large or a small number State the reason for your answer?
As numbers go the gravitational constant is small. It is 6.67 multiplied by 10 raised to the negative 11th power.
If 10000 J of work was done to raise a 250 kg box how high was the box raised?
if 10000J were used to lift it, it means the total mechanical energy is 10000J. At the very top, kinetic energy is 0 (0 velocity), so potential energy is at it's fullest. Potential energy can be calculated using E = m*g*h E = 10000J, m = 250kg, g = 10m/s2. Leaving h to be 4m
Which is larger 99 raised to the ninth power divided by 9 raised to the 99 power or 11 raised to the ninth power divided by 9 raised to the 90th power?
11 raised to the 9th power divided by 9 raised to the 90th power
What is A raised to the power of 3 times A raised to the power of 5?
A^8 or A raised to the power of 8.
Does a raised hammer possess gravitational potential energy?
Yes, it does.
The energy of position is what kind of energy?
That is called potential energy. For example, in the case of gravitational potential energy: If an object is raised, its potential energy increases.
What kind of energy does a car possesses when it is raised on a lift?
Basically just about ANYTHING that is raised has gravitational potential energy.
What is the source of potentail energy?
Let's take an example: gravitational potential energy. An object has more potential energy if it is raised to a higher position. The energy comes from whatever raised it up, although it is also possible (as in the case of meteorites) that the object was never on the ground in the first place.Let's take an example: gravitational potential energy.

What a water able a hydroelectric dam have kinetic energy or potential energy?
The raised water, which stores the energy, has gravitational potential energy.While it is moving, the water has kinetic energy.
Is the gravotational potential energy more less or unchanged when the CG of an object is raised?
When the CG of an object is raised, gravitational potential energy increases due to a higher positioning from the ground, and therefore a higher "potential" to fall.
What energy is a rock on top of a hill?
Gravitational potential energy is the type of energy stored in an object if it is raised in a gravitational field. A rock on top of a hill is a good example of this as it has a higher potential energy than a rock at the bottom of a hill.
Which combiation of features will have the greatest gravitational potential energy?
A large mass raised to a great height will.
What happens to the amount of gravitational potential energy of a substance when it is raised from the ground?
popiseed muffins rock!
What are some gravitational energy examples?
HYDROELECTRIC POWERPLANT is the best example to convert gravitational energy to kinetic energy to electric current.The production of electrical power through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water onto the rotor which rotates motor and motor converts the kinetic energy into electric enrgy.
A raised object has energy in its energy stores?
Yup it's called Gravitational potential energy and has the formula Ep = m.g.h m being the mass g the gravitational acceleration and h the height
What is the potiential energy of the 85 kg rock?
For every meter it's raised, it gains 833 more joules of gravitational potential energy.
