They're hardly ever equal.
One of the few situations where they're equal is when you drop a weight to the ground
from some height. Then, the gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy are equal
when it's exactly in the middle of the drop, and the kinetic energy it has when it hits
the ground is the same as the gravitational potential energy it had when you let it go.

Why is g called the universal gravitational constant?
Why g is called the universal gravitational constant.Answer:Because it's the constant in Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation.It's "gravitational" because it is related to gravity; "universal ... constant" because it is the same in all cases."Universal" because it applied to the whole of the Universe.Another answer. But, g isn't called the universal gravitational constant.g is the acceleration due to gravity on our planet only.= 9.81 m s-2The universal gravitational constant is G (often called big G ) = 6.673 x 1011 m3 kg-1 s-2.It appears in Newton's equation f= Gm1m2 / d2 .
What information do i need to find the force of an object?
An object, in itself, does not have any force. It can exert a force on another object, such as gravitational or electro-magnetic attraction or repulsion, or from impact. However, in all such cases, you require two (or more) objects: one object, in isolation, exerts no force.
Is five mistake for every hundred a acceptable number?

Two cases of cans weigh 32 how much do 7 cases weigh?
112
IF a case holds 12 items how many cases would you need to transport 159 items?
14 cases. The 14th case would not be full.
Does kenetic energy exceed Gravitational potential energy?
Yes, in most cases kinetic energy exceeds gravitational potential energy because kinetic energy is associated with the motion of an object, while gravitational potential energy is associated with the height of an object in a gravitational field. As an object moves, it typically gains kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy decreases.
Would a book on a table one meter above the floor have more kinetic energy than a book resting on a floor?
No. Kinetic energy would be zero in both cases. The book in the higher position has more potential energy.No. Kinetic energy would be zero in both cases.

The book in the higher position has more potential energy.No. Kinetic energy would be zero in both cases. The book in the higher position has more potential energy.
If the Kinetic Energy equals five what would the Potential Energy equal?
Kinetic energy and potential energy are not usually proportional. In the general situation, you can't derive potential energy from kinetic energy. In specific cases, sometimes you can - especially if you assume that potential energy that existed previously got converted to kinetic energy, or vice versa.Kinetic energy and potential energy are not usually proportional.

What do gravitational potential energy and chemical potential energy have in common?
In both cases, energy is involved in pushing something against a force.
What are the Similarities of kinetic and potential energy?
Only that both are energy - which can, in many cases, be converted from one type to another.
What are two examples of micanical energy?
a) gravitational potential energy, b) kinetic energy. I believe elastic energy would also be considered mechanical energy.
Gravity your kinetic energy when you are driving uphill and it when you are driving downhill?
When driving uphill, gravity acts against your kinetic energy, requiring more energy to maintain speed. When driving downhill, gravity aids your kinetic energy, allowing you to maintain or increase speed more easily. In both cases, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as the vehicle moves.
Where does lost potential energy go?
Lost potential energy is typically transformed into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, heat, or sound. For example, when an object falls from a height and loses potential energy, it gains kinetic energy as it moves faster. In most cases, the energy is still conserved according to the law of conservation of energy.
How much potential and kinetic energy does an average person use a day?
no In most all cases, yes. You use kinetic energy (energy due to motion) if you move, or if you move something. The most common form of potential energy is gravitational potential energy (basically energy due to height). You use this if you fall down (or fall into your bed) or if you drop something (even if it's dropping your backpack from two inches off the ground). You use gravitational potential energy when you drink from a cup by letting gravity do the work of moving the liquid down. It can also be argued that chemical energy is potential energy, in which case, you use it when you eat and obtain energy from food.
Can kinetic energy become potential energy?
Yes, kinetic energy can be converted into potential energy. For example, when a moving object comes to a stop, its kinetic energy is transformed into potential energy. This can happen in various situations such as when a pendulum reaches its highest point or when a car stops moving up a hill.
What is the relationship between the gravitational potential energy of an object and the work done on the object by the gravitational force?
I would have described them as different types of energy, so don't see what the relationship could be. If you hit a ball high in the air, it will have elastic energy stored in it from the initial blow, and it will also gain gravitational energy as it rises. The gravitational energy arises because the ball was given kinetic energy when it was hit, the elastic energy because it was deformed, but I don't think they then interact.

Does an apple have energy and why?
An apple has potential energy when it's just sitting on a table. If you pick it up, then it has gravitational energy as gravity is pulling it down. If you bite it, it releases chemical energy to your body. And if you throw it, it now has kinetic energy. :)
