Question

how do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potential energy?

A. height has great a greater effect than mass gravitational potential energy

B. mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.

C. height has almost 10 times the effect on gravitational potential energy then mass has.

D. Mass has a greater effect than height on gravitational potential energy.​

Answer 1

Answer:

B. mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.

Explanation:

Both mass and height have the same effect on the gravitational potential energy of body.

Gravitational potential energy is the energy of a body due to that of another body. It usually the energy at rest in a body.

It is mathematically expressed as;

 G.P.E  = m x g x h

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height

We see that both the height and mass are directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy and as such, they have the same effect.
