ARTICLES RELATED TO Potential energy - Examples | | | |  Potential energy - Examples: Encyclopedia II - Potential energy - ExamplesA book on a table has greater gravitational potential energy than the same book on the floor. However the same book has less gravitational potential energy than if it were even higher. In raising the book from the floor to the table, work was done by someone which is now stored as potential energy. (This energy was provided by the chemical energy stored in food). The presence of this potential energy could be demonstrated by sliding the book off the table. The book would gain kinetic energy from its velocity until it reached the floor. The kinetic energy would then be ...

Potential energy - Gravitational potential energy.
The gravitational potential energy Ug of an object is equal to the work that would have to be done by a constant gravitational force F = mg on the object to move it against the force by a distance h, and is equal to
where m is the mass of the object, and g ...

| | | | Potential energy - Examples: Encyclopedia II - Potential energy - Graphical representation A graph of a 1D or 2D potential function with the function value scale increasing upward is useful to visualize the potential field: a ball rolling to the lowest part corresponds to a mass or charge, etc. being attracted.
E.g. a mass, being an area of attraction, may be called a gravitational well. See also potential well.

| | | | Potential energy - Examples: Encyclopedia II - Potential energy - Relation between potential energy and force Potential energy is closely linked with forces. If the work done going around a loop is zero, then the force is said to be conservative and it is possible to define a numerical value of potential associated with every point in space. A force field can be re-obtained by taking the vector gradient of the potential field.
For example, gravity is a conservative force. The work done by a unit mass going from point A with U = a to point B with U = b by gra ...

| | | | Potential energy - Examples: Encyclopedia II - Potential energy - Simple calculation The work done in raising an object is the force overcome multiplied by the distance that it was raised. Thus raising two similar objects or raising the object twice as far would produce twice as much potential energy. The gravitational force that must be overcome is the book's mass multiplied by the force of gravity.
The potential energy of a body = where m is the mass of the object, g the acceleration due to gravity and h the ...
