1 answer

The correct response is:

Mass and position

Potential energy is determined by the mass of an object and its position in a gravitational field. For gravitational potential energy, the formula is typically given as \( PE = mgh \), where \( PE \) is the potential energy, \( m \) is mass, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is the height above a reference point.
