no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf
Potential energy.
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.
YES!
Yes it is. Because it has the POTENTIAL of falling off. Very simple physics, learned that in 6th grade.
no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the 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.
Yes, a book sitting on a shelf has potential energy due to its position. When you lift the book off the shelf, its potential energy decreases as it moves closer to the ground.
How does a book on a higher shelf have more potential energy than a book on the lower 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.
Gravitational potential energy
no
Kinetic Energy
false
Potential energy.
When a book is moved from a higher shelf to a lower shelf, the only significant thing that changes is the potential energy of the book: when the book is on the higher shelf, it's potential energy will be higher than when it is on a lower shelf.Potential energy is calculated using the formula:PE = mghWhere:m = mass of the objecth = height of the objectg = force of gravity
It has mechanical energy. The exact type of energy is potential.
