The factors that determine the potential energy of an object are Mass and position.

Potential energy, especially gravitational potential energy, is calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Potential Energy} = mgh \]

where \( m \) is the mass of the object, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is the height (position) above a reference point.
