An object’s gravitational potential energy is dependent on the object’s mass, the strength of its gravitational field, and which of the following: (1 point)

Responses

the height of the object
the height of the object

the velocity of the object
the velocity of the object

the shape of the object
the shape of the object

the temperature of the object

1 answer

The correct response is:

the height of the object

Gravitational potential energy is given by the formula \( PE = mgh \), where \( m \) is the mass of the object, \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (the strength of the gravitational field), and \( h \) is the height of the object above a reference point.
