no it does not..looking at the formula for potential energy...mgh...it only deviates on the basis of mass gravitational acceleration and height but doesn't depart on the direction moved

Answer:
Thus the work done against gravity is independent of the path along which the body is moved and it depends only on the initial and final positions of the body. That is why, gravitational force is called a conservative force.
