In order to determine which object has the most potential energy, we need more information about the objects being compared (A, B, and C). Without knowing the specific characteristics of these objects, we cannot accurately determine which one has the most potential energy.

What does a graph showing the relationship between an object’s gravitational potential energy and the object's height above the ground look like
A graph showing the relationship between an object's gravitational potential energy and its height above the ground would typically be a straight line that increases as the height increases. The graph would have a positive slope indicating that as the height increases, the potential energy also increases.
