Question

what happens to the potential energy of a body when its height is doubled and tripled​

Answer 1

Answer:

Potential Energy of a body also becomes doubled and tripled

Explanation:

As we know, Potential Energy (P.E)=mass(m)×acceleration due to gravity(g)×height(h)

So,if mass and acceleration remains constant. Then,

P.E is directly proportional to height of the body and hence P.E increases with increase in height.

Hope it will help u.

Thank You♥️

Answer 2

Answer:

Since the gravitational potential energy of an object is directly proportional to its height above the zero position, a doubling of the height will result in a doubling of the gravitational potential energy. A tripling of the height will result in a tripling of the gravitational potential energy.
