Question

What are the factors that affects potential energy?

Answer 1

Answer:

The factors that affect an object's gravitational potential energy are its height relative to some reference point, its mass, and the strength of the gravitational field it is in.

Answer 2

The factors affecting potential energy are the mass of the object and its distance from the Earth's surface.

Explanation:

The energy possessed by an object as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other causes is known as potential energy.

• The amount of gravitational potential energy possessed by an item is determined by two factors.

1. The mass of the thing: The more mass an object has, the greater gravitational potential energy it will have if placed in a falling posture.
2. The object's distance from the Earth's surface: The farther an object may fall, the more gravitational potential energy it has.
