Question

as we move above the body above the surface of earth the change in potential energy will be either negative or positive

Answer 1

Answer:

All conservative forces have potential energy associated with them. The force of gravity is no exception. Gravitational potential energy is usually given the symbol U_gU

g

U, start subscript, g, end subscript. It represents the potential an object has to do work as a result of being located at a particular position in a gravitational field.

Answer 2

Answer:

Positive energy

Explanation:

When the planet moves farther away, the speed and kinetic energy decrease, and the gravitational potential energy increases. ... This means that the Earth's distance from Sun r varies throughout the orbit.

Potential energy is related to all conservative forces. The gravitational force is no exception. The symbol for gravitational potential energy is G U, start subscript, g, end subscript. It depicts the ability of an item to perform labour as a function of its location in a gravitational field.
