Question

which of the following can always determine potential energy? *
1 point
kinetic energy
height off the ground
inertia
speed

Explanation:

Potential energy (especially gravitational potential energy) depends on an object's height above a reference point (along with mass and gravity, \( PE = mgh \)). Kinetic energy (\( KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} \)) relates to motion, inertia is about mass/resistance to motion, and speed relates to kinetic energy. Height is a key factor in determining gravitational potential energy, so it can help determine potential energy.

Answer:

B. Height off the ground
