What is potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and height?
That is called gravitational potential energy. Sometimes simply "potential energy", and the "gravitational" part is implied.
Picture hanging on a wall has what kind of energy?
a picture hanging on a wall has gravitational potential energy. meaning the higher it is the more energy it has. If it's about to fall down: Potential energy: Gravitational. If it's about the be burned: Chemical energy. If it's spontaneously transported to a freezer: Heat energy. If this question is part of a physics test: F--for-you energy.
What sport involves transforming gravitational potential energy into elastic energy?
This can happen in many sports. One common example is anything that involves a ball - of the type that can bounce when they fall. In such a ball, when it falls down, gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy; later, when it touches the ground, the kinetic energy is converted into elastic energy. When the ball bounces back, part of this elastic energy (typically, most of it) is converted back into kinetic energy.
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.
On what three things does gravitational potential energy depend?
The three things that determine gravitational potential energy are the strength of the gravitational field, the mass of the object on which it is acting, and its "altitude" or height of elevation in the field. There are some subtle complexities that also play a part in a complete dynamic picture, but these are the basics. If you were making calculations to design and engineer a roller coaster, these are the things you'd need to know.

What has more potential energy?
The factors that affect an object's gravitational potential energy are its height relative to some reference point, its mass, and the strength of the gravitational field it is in. You didn't say what two things you want to compare.

As an object moves downhill some of the energy is?
Before it rolls downhill, it has gravitational potential energy. As it rolls downhill, part of this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (including rotational energy); due to friction, this will soon be converted into waste energy, mainly heat.
What do you know about interconversion of energy of kinetic energy and potential energy of free falling bodies?
The potential energy decreases as the body falls while the kinetic energy increases. P.E.=mass x gravity x height The shorter the height the less potential energy there is K.E.= 1/2 x mass x velocity^2 The velocity increases as the body falls and the bigger the velocity the more Kinetic Energy produced

What is potantail energy?
Potential Energy is scalar/real energy. Energy in general is a quaternion consisting of a scalar part Er (potential) and a vector part Ev.
What is the relationship between height of the object and gravitational potential energy?
i don't understand the relationship part but i know GPE which is gravitational potential energy is any object above the ground i hope this helps if it doesn't i don't care bye doodles he he i am funny popopoop limbo limbo limbo how low can you go how low can you go he he
How can you tell from the path of the ball that there is another force acting on the ball other than the kicking force?
Inthe kicking force, kinetic energy is acting on the ball together with Gravitational Potential Energy. Whereas the part where aother force is acting on iit while the ball is not moving is alsoocontrolled by gravitaitional potential energy.
Does a microwave have kinetic or potential energy?
both. If moving we have kinetic. also have chemical energy stored in our bodies and that's potential energy. there is also physical potential energy stored in us if we are held up in the air with the possibility of falling.
