The gravitational potential energy that an object possesses is dependent on which of the following?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The energy depends on the object's mass, height above Earth's surface, and the gravitational acceleration constant.

Explanation:

The potential energy is a relationship as follows:

[tex]E_p = m\cdot g\cdot h[/tex]

where m is the mass of the object (kg), h is the height/altitude of the aboject measured in meters above Earth's surface, and g is the gravitational acceleration, typically take to be 9.8 m/s^2.
