∙ 9y agoAs the object falls, its gravitational potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases. This is due to the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy as the object accelerates downward under the influence of gravity. At the point of impact, all the initial gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
If you double the height of an object, its gravitational potential energy will also double. Gravitational potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above a reference point.
The value of the Gravitational Potential Energy decreases as the distance (r) between the objects increases. This is because the gravitational force weakens with distance, resulting in a decrease in potential energy as the objects move farther apart.
Gravitational potential energy can be transferred between objects when one object loses gravitational potential energy while another gains it. This transfer of energy typically occurs as objects move in a gravitational field, such as when an object falls from a height to the ground. The total amount of gravitational potential energy in the system remains constant, but it can be transferred between objects within the system.
Yes, the gravitational potential energy of an object can be negative. This typically happens when the reference point for measuring potential energy is chosen to be at a higher level than the object's current position.
When the height of an object is doubled, its potential energy also doubles. This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above the reference point. Increasing the height increases the gravitational potential energy stored in the object.
it means potential (as in my case, Gravitational Potential energy)

It increases.

-- If the velocity is horizontal, then gravitational potential energy doesn't change. -- If velocity is vertical and upward, gravitational potential energy increases at a rate proportional to the speed. -- If velocity is vertical and downward, gravitational potential energy decreases at a rate proportional to speed.

The pendulum's momentum or kinetic energy is converted to gravitational potential energy until all of the kinetic energy is converted. The pendulum stops.

The same as the relation between acceleration and any other force. Force = (mass) x (acceleration) If the force happens to be gravitational, then the acceleration is down, and the formula tells you the size of the acceleration. If the acceleration is down and there are no rocket engines strapped to the object, then it's a pretty safe bet that the force is gravitational, and the formula tells you the size of the force.
