Question

question 5 of 28 how would doubling the height of an object change the objects potential energy? a. the potential energy would not change. b. the potential energy would decrease by half. c. the potential energy would double. d. the potential energy would increase by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is given by \( PE = mgh \), where \( h \) is height. Doubling \( h \) (with \( m \) and \( g \) constant) doubles \( PE \).

Answer:

C. The potential energy would double.
