An object’s gravitational potential energy depends on the object’s mass, the strength of the gravitational field, and what other variable?(1 point)

Question

Responses

the object's height from the ground
the object's height from the ground

the shape of the object
the shape of the object

the color of the object
the color of the object

the speed of the object

Answer 1

The correct response is:

the object's height from the ground.

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