what is the relationship of mass weight and height to the potential of an object?
Answers
Answer:
Mass is directly proportional to height above placed
Explanation:
If the object is lifted straight up at constant speed, then the force needed to lift it is equal to its weight mg. The work done on the mass is then W = Fd = mgh. We define this to be the gravitational potential energy (PEg) put into (or gained by) the object-Earth system.

Direct relationship. Here is the expresion for EP=mgh. The potential energy of macroscopic object directly depends on the objects mass and height(and the gravitational acceleration). The more mass it has, the more potential energy it has. That also goes for the height. You can do it at home. When you lift a heavy object it’s potential to convert to kinetic energy is a lot greater with bigger mass and height.
