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 speed of the object
the speed of the object

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

the color of the object
the color of the object

the shape of the object

Answer 1

The correct response is:

the object's height from the ground

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