What creates a potential difference (ΔP) between two locations?
Difference in elevation
How does the gravitational pull of the earth affect potential energy?
It increases with distance from the center of the earth
What happens to the mechanical potential energy of an object as it moves further away from the center of the earth?
It increases
What creates a potential difference (ΔP) between two locations at different heights?
Gravitational pull
How does the potential energy of an object relate to its distance from the earth's center?
It is directly proportional to the distance
