What form of energy is associated with the position of an object in Earth's gravitional field?
Potential energy
How does chemical energy relate to potential and kinetic energy?
Potential energy is when the body is in a particular position.The position of a object changes rapidly due to gravitional force of the earth.Kinetic energy is the energy when the object is in motion.there is no chemical energy relating with these energies.
How does something gain gravitational potential?
How does something gain gravitional potential?
Is the energy of an object due to its position or composition considered potential energy?
Yes. That is the definition for potential energy.
Which of the following is the equation for gravitional potential energy?
PE for gravitation = mgh Potential Energy is measured in Joules m = mass in kilograms g = acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2 h = height from "zero" in metres/meters
What form of energy is associated with the position of an object in Earth's gravitional field?
Potential energy
Define elastic potential energy and gravitional potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses by reason of its position in a gravitational field. While elastic potential energy, is the energy stored by a material or object as a result of deformation e.g. the energy stored in a bow when it is stretched.
How does chemical energy relate to potential and kinetic energy?

What does gravitional energy mean?
It refers to potential energy (energy of position), related to the force of gravity. Basically, at a higher position, an object has more energy than at a lower position.
Potential energy related to an objects height?
Yes, it is based on both. Potential energy (gravitational potential energy, to be more precise) is simply the weight multiplied by the height.
How does something gain gravitational potential?
How does something gain gravitional potential?
Is the energy of an object due to its position or composition considered potential energy?
Yes. That is the definition for potential energy.
What is the definition of'' potential energy''?
Potential energy refers to the energy possessed by a given object relative to its position.
How would you explain the difference between potential and kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is energy related to movement. The formula is (1/2) mass times velocity squared. Potential energy is energy of position. The formula for gravitional potential energy is mgh (mass times gravitation times height).
Which of the following is the equation for gravitional potential energy?
PE for gravitation = mgh Potential Energy is measured in Joules m = mass in kilograms g = acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s2 h = height from "zero" in metres/meters
What is the potential energy of a 20 kg safe on a shelf 0.5 meters above the ground?
Use the formula for gravitional potential energy: PE = mgh (mass x gravity x height). Use 9.8 for gravity. Answer will be in Joule.
What other energy is common to elastic and gravitional energy?
co2
