The kinetic energy of a book on a shelf is equal to the work done to lift the book to the shelf?
no, but the POTENTIAL energy may equal the work done to life the book to the shelf
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.
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.
