Answer to Question #85130 in Classical Mechanics for Murari

Question

When I lift a chair and hold it it stores potential energy
But when I start moving by holding it in the same position at the same height what energy conversions take place
What happens to that potential energy??

Answer 1

At the same height potential energy remains the same. When you move it in the same position at the same height you do the work to increase its kinetic energy.
