What most directly affects the potential energy of an object?

Answer 1

First of all potential energy equation is :

E=mgz

E: potential energy / the unit is: joule (J)

m: mass / the unit is: kilogram (kg)

g: acceleration of gravity / the unit is: meter/second^2 (m/s2)

z: height / the unit is: meter (m)

Now the factors affecting the potential energy are:

1- mass

2- acceleration of gravity

3- height

Answer 2

Temperature is directly proportional to kinetic energy (potential energy).

eg. increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, hence you're increasing the potential energy of them.

Answer 3

Kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of an object. Kinetic energy increases when an object's mass or speed increases. It decreases when the mass or speed decreases. If the object stops, the kinetic energy is transformed into another form of energy.

Answer 4

Potential energy = mgh So the obvious facors are : 1. m - mass of the object 2. g - gravitaional acceleration at the position of the object 3. h - height of the object from the reference level. This reference level is a level where we assume potential energy to be zero.

Answer 5

Potential energy is that energy which exists in any stationery object. For suppose, is a ball is at rest, a force is applied on it , it starts moving. In this case, when the ball is at rest it has potential energy (Since it's in rest), and when a force is applied on it, it has gained kinetic energy (Since it's in motion). When an unbalanced force acts on a object, it can be one of the affect of the object.
