Question

the more mass an object has the greater the... 1 point
potential energy
kinetic energy
both potential and kinetic energy
size

Explanation:

• Potential Energy (gravitational) formula: $PE = mgh$, where $m$ is mass. As $m$ increases, $PE$ increases (if $g$ and $h$ are constant).
• Kinetic Energy formula: $KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$, where $m$ is mass. As $m$ increases, $KE$ increases (if $v$ is constant).
• Size is not directly determined by mass (e.g., a dense small object can have more mass than a large less - dense object). So more mass leads to greater both potential and kinetic energy (depending on conditions like height for PE, velocity for KE).

Answer:

C. Both Potential and Kinetic Energy
