Potential energy due to the position of an object above earth surface is called

Chemistry
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]3 years ago
7 0

ANSWER:

Potential energy due to the position of an object above Earth's surface is called gravitational  potential energy.

EXPLANATION:

Gravitational energy is the potential energy compared with gravitational force, as work is  needed to further things against Earth’s gravity. The potential energy due to high positions is  called gravitational potential energy, and is evidenced by water in an elevated storage or kept  behind a dam. If an article falls from one point to different point inside a gravitational field, the  force of gravitation will do actual work on the object, and the gravitational potential energy will  decrease by the same amount.

How does the law of conservation of energy apply to the changes in potential and kinetic energy of a pencil as it falls to the f
antiseptic1488 [7]

The changes in the energy law of conservation of energy is Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

Law of conservation of energy says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it just transformed from one form to another.

The energies are kinetic, potential, mechanical, gravitational, electrical, etc.

Thus, the changes in the energy law of conservation of energy is Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

For each pair; which has higher kinetic energy?
RideAnS [48]

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is defined as the energy obtained by an object due to its motion. Whereas energy obtained by an object due to its position is known as potential energy.

(a)   When a sled is resting at the top of a hill then it means the sled in not moving. Hence, then it has only potential energy. But when a sled sliding down the hill  then it is moving from its initial position.

Hence, when a sled is sliding down the hill then it has higher kinetic energy.

(b)    When water is above the dam then it only has potential energy but when the water falls over the dam then it has higher kinetic energy.
