On earth the weight an height of an object give an object what type of potential energy?
The weight and height of an object on Earth give it gravitational potential energy. This type of potential energy is based on the object's position in a gravitational field relative to the surface of the Earth.
Can you give me an example of a potential energy?
One example of potential energy is the energy stored in a stretched rubber band. This energy is potential because it is not being actively used at the moment but has the potential to do work when released.
What On earth the weight and height of an object give an object what type of potential energy?
The weight and height of an object give it gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its vertical position in a gravitational field. It depends on an object's mass, height above a reference point, and the strength of the gravitational field.
Can you give me an example of potencial energy?
Examples of POTENTIAL ENERGY are : 1 . An airplane about to take off 2 . A battery on a flashlight 3 . A boy sleeping OR EVERYTHING ELSE THAT DOES NOT MOVE
Can you give me some examples of gravitational potential energy?
carrying water in a tub
Can you give some examples for Potentia energy?
Potential energy is when you do work against a conservative force. Examples are gravitational potential energy; the stored energy in a spring; chemical energy; and nuclear energy.
What is gravitational energy-?
Gravitational potential energy is the kinetic energy that an object could gain if it was allowed to move through the entire gravitational potential in question. For example, if you climb a tower that is 100 feet above the Earth's surface and hold a ball, the ball will have potential energy as long as it remains at that height (in other words, as long as it remains at that potential). If the ball is dropped, the potential energy begins converting into kinetic as the ball falls through the 100 foot gravitational potential. When the ball is on the surface of the Earth, it no longer has any gravitational potential energy with respect to the Earth's surface. All of the energy converted into kinetic energy. When the ball actually hit the Earth, the kinetic energy was converted into heat and the ball stopped moving. That heat warmed the surrounding atmosphere a bit. No energy is ever lost, it just converts from one form to another.
What is the equation for calculating an object's gravitational potential energy?
The equation to calculate an object's gravitation potential energy is: PE=MGH where: PE is gravitational potential energy M is the objects mass G is the acceleration due to the gravitational pull of the Earth on its surface ( 9.8 m/s2) H is the height from the location that would give it zero potentional energy (generally the ground)

Does a moving car have potential energy?
A moving car can have potential energy. It can be on a hill or a rise. This would give it gravitational potential energy. It can have gasoline, a battery with charge or both. This would give it chemical potential energy.
The weight and height of an object give an object what type of potential energy?
Basically, potential energy is increased by either an increase in mass, height, or both. As an object is more massive, it has the potential to do more work. As an object is higher up, it has the potential to do more work because it will have a higher velocity at the moment of impact. This is also seen in the definition of potential energy, which is Epotential = M(Ag)H. As shown, increasing either mass (M) or height (H) or both will increase the potential energy. The potential energy is completely related to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy = .5MV2. Increasing mass will directly increase kinetic energy. Height is a little different. The V is velocity, which increases as the object is falling inwards due to gravitational acceleration. Basically, an increase in mass results in an increase in kinetic energy. Initial height does not matter unless the object is moving downwards towards the center of gravity.
What is an example of potential stored energy?
If a rock is balanced on the edge of a cliff if has gravitational potential energy because it could gain kinetic energy (movement) which no input of energy. as the rock fall the gravitational potential energy is turned into kinetic energy as it runs out of height to speed up in. Batteries have electrical potential energy because they can give an electrical current by using up their power. Hydrocarbons like wood, fat and oil have chemical potential energy because they can give off heat and light energy when they are chemically reacted (combusted/burned). A spring has elastic potential energy because it can go from not moving to moving without being pushed or thrown, it converts the tension in it's fibres into kinetic energy while trying to return to it's original shape. I hope this answer is useful to you.
