When the box was placed on the table. its gravitational potential energy was greater than when it was placed on the floor.
The medieval war machine the trebuchet uses gravitational potential energy to hurl rocks. Hydroelectric dams use the gravitational potential of water to convert to kinetic energy to drive a turbine and create electricity.
Gravitational potential energy = (weight of the object) x (height) or Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height)
gravitational potential energy is basically gravity. Uses... Rain has gpe. We use it to get the rain down.
You have to use energy to raise a mass against the gravitational force, the object then has potential energy. If it is then let fall, this potential is released.
If you mean gravitational potential energy, you use the formula PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height).
After the car is dropped, it has NO gravitational potential energy.Before it's dropped, you can calculate the potential energy as mgh (mass x gravity x height). You can use 9.8 for gravity.
The gravitational potential energy, from the fact that they are at a higher level, i.e., above ground level.
there is lot of potential energy in sun. We are not using it full.
That depends what kind of "potential energy" you are talking about, but without further specification, this usually refers to gravitational potential energy. The formula for gravitational potential energy is PE = mgh, that is, mass x gravity x height. If mass is in kg. and gravity in meters per second square (use the value 9.82 for Earth's gravity), and height in meters, then the energy will be in Joule.That depends what kind of "potential energy" you are talking about, but without further specification, this usually refers to gravitational potential energy.

Yes. When u use the word potential energy,it means stored energy. A water being hold in the dam above ground contains stored gravitational potential energy.
the distance between the object and the center of the Earth
Potential energy, because the energy in this process is produced through the use of the gravitational force of falling or flowing water.
