10. Conservation of Energy

Which of the following items stores energy in the form of $\mathrm{gravitational} \mathrm{potential} \mathrm{energy}$?

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground. At which point during its flight does the ball have the greatest amount of gravitational potential energy ($U=mgh$)?

Which of the following best explains how gravitational potential energy was added to the water in a typical hydroelectric dam setup?

Which type of energy is considered stored energy in the context of gravitational fields?

In the context of gravitational potential energy, can the potential energy of an object be negative?

An object of mass $m$ is at a height $h$ above the ground and has gravitational potential energy $U$. If the object is raised to a height of $2h$, how much gravitational potential energy does it have compared to its original value?

When an object's height above the ground is increased, how does its gravitational potential energy change?

When gravitational potential energy ($U=mgh$) is converted, it is typically transformed into which two forms of energy?

When is $U=mgh$ (gravitational potential energy) transformed into $K=\frac{1}{2}m{v}^2$ (kinetic energy)?

If you have two solid steel spheres and sphere $2$ has twice the radius of sphere $1$, by what factor is the gravitational potential energy required to lift sphere $2$ to the same height as sphere $1$ greater than that for sphere $1$? Assume both are lifted the same vertical distance in Earth's gravitational field.

Which of the following objects has the greatest gravitational potential energy relative to the ground?

Which form of energy does an object possess due to its height above a reference point?

Which of the following is an example of gravitational potential energy?

When skiing downhill, what type of potential energy do skiers primarily take advantage of?

Which of the following formulas is used to find gravitational potential energy?
