Beats me. That depends on the total mechanical energy, which you have not specified.UrbanXrisis said:would the object's Kinetic energy be positive then?
Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position or configuration. It is stored energy that can be converted into other forms, such as kinetic energy, when the object moves.
Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position, while kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. Potential energy is stored energy, while kinetic energy is energy in motion.
The factors that affect potential energy are an object's mass, height, and the strength of the force acting on it. The higher the mass and height of the object, and the stronger the force, the greater the potential energy.
The formula for calculating potential energy is PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the object.
Potential energy can be converted into other forms of energy when the object is in motion. For example, a ball at the top of a hill has potential energy, but when it rolls down the hill, it converts that potential energy into kinetic energy.
