Potential Energy of a System
Back to Intro Page
Which factors determine the potential energy of an object? (1 point)
• Mass and position
Gravity and position
Weight and velocity
Mass and velocity

Answer 1

The correct answer is Gravity and position.

Potential energy typically depends on the mass of the object, the height of its position in a gravitational field, and the strength of the gravitational field. Therefore, gravity and position (height) are the factors that determine the potential energy of an object in a gravitational field.
