Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object or substance. Gravitational potential energy is energy in an object that is held in a vertical position. Elastic potential energy is energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed.

The Relationship Between Kinetic and Potential Energy. We know that potential energy is the energy that is stored within an object while kinetic energy is the energy that is in motion. The connection between the two is that potential energy transforms into kinetic energy.

The acceleration due to gravity changes as we move away from Earth, and the expression for gravitational potential energy must reflect this change. The total energy of a system is the sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energy, and this total energy is conserved in orbital motion.

Gravitational energy. Gravitational potential energy is defined as the “energy of an object due to Earth's gravity”. OR it is the product of the object's weight and height.It is the most common example of P.E. Any time that a heavy object is kept high up, a force or power is likely to be holding it up there.

The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 on Earth), and h is the height above the ground in meters.

Work done against gravity in lifting an object becomes potential energy of the object-Earth system. The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity.

Two charges in the vicinity of each other are said to have potential energy. Electric potential energy Ue is the potential energy stored when charges are out of equilibrium (like gravitational potential energy). Electric potential is the same, but per charge, Ueq.

Electric potential energy Ue is the potential energy stored when charges are out of equilibrium (like gravitational potential energy). Electric potential is the same, but per charge, Ueq. An electric potential difference between two points is called voltage, V=Ue2q−Ue1q.

Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's weight and its height above the ground (GPE = weight x height). Elastic potential energy is due to an object's shape. It results when an elastic object is stretched or compressed.

Gravitational potential describes the effects of a gravitational field upon objects that are placed at various locations within it. While electric potential energy has a dependency upon the charge of the object experiencing the electric field, electric potential is purely location dependent.

Potential energy is energy stored in an object due to its position or arrangement. Kinetic energy is energy of an object due to its movement - its motion.

Gravitational force is an attractive force that apperas between any two masses. Gravitational force is a force which means that it changes the motion of an object. ... Gravitational potential energy is the amount of energy a mass [apple] possesses due to its positions in the gravitational field.

You should be knowing what is GPE, it's simply the amount of energy required to bring a particle from one point to another, it is negative because there is no external work being done, and the particle moves on its own. But gravitational potential is the GPE per unit mass. ... PE = mgh.

6 Answers. Potential energy and work done are the same thing as much as kinetic energy and work done are the same thing. Potential energy is a state of the system, a way of storing energy as of virtue of its configuration or motion, while work done in most cases is a way of chaning this energy from one body to another.

As an object falls from rest, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the surface. K.E. = J, which is of course equal to its initial potential energy.
