Question
gravitational potential energy depends on the _____ and _____ of the object.
height and mass
height and friction
mass and movement
friction and movement
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is given by the formula \( GPE = mgh \), where \( m \) is mass, \( g \) is acceleration due to gravity, and \( h \) is height. So GPE depends on mass and height. Friction and movement are not factors in gravitational potential energy (friction relates to forces like kinetic friction, movement is more about kinetic energy). So the correct pair is height and mass.
