What else can I help you with?
Is Book on a high shelf chemical or potential energy?
Potential energy.
Does a book sitting on a shelf have gravitational potential energy?
YES!
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.
What energy is a book on a shelf?
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.
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.
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
True or false the kinetic energy of a book shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
false
Which has more kinetic energy a book on top shelf or book on bottom shelf?
A book on the bottom shelf usually has more kinetic energy because it has the potential to fall from a greater height than a book on the top shelf. As an object falls, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
Book is to shelf as plate is to?
Kinetic Energy
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.
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.
What would the energy changes be if a book falling off a shelf and hitting the ground?
When a book falls off a shelf and hits the ground, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy as it falls. When it hits the ground, some of the kinetic energy is converted into sound and heat energy due to the impact.
What sort of energy does a book have if it falls off a high shelf?
Before it falls it has gravitational potential energy. While it falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. Part of this gets dissipated by friction - mainly converted to heat. Once it hits the ground, all the energy will be converted to heat.
If gravity is the only force present what is the total mechanical energy of a book falling off a shelf at a time when its potential energy is 50 J and its kinetic energy is 60 J?
The total mechanical energy of the book falling off the shelf is the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy. Therefore, the total mechanical energy is 110 J (50 J potential energy + 60 J kinetic energy).
What form of energy does a book have once it reaches the floor from falling off a high shelf?
The book has kinetic energy as it falls towards the floor. When it hits the floor, some of this kinetic energy will be converted into sound energy and some into thermal energy due to the impact.
What type of energy is book on a bookshelf?
The potential energy of a book on a bookshelf is due to its position above the ground. When the book is lifted or moved from the shelf, the potential energy decreases as it is converted into kinetic energy.
What are three objects without kinetic energy?
A book at rest on a table. A stationary tree. A mug sitting on a shelf.
