Question

increasing the height of an object ____________ its gravitational potential energy

does not affect

increases
decreases

inversely affects (has the opposite effect on)

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is \(U = mgh\), where \(m\) is mass, \(g\) is acceleration due to gravity, and \(h\) is height. When \(h\) (height) increases, and \(m\) (mass) and \(g\) (acceleration due to gravity) are constant, the value of \(U\) (gravitational potential energy) increases.

Answer:

B. increases
