Questions and Answers

What causes the mechanical potential energy of an object to be greater?

  • The further the object is from the center of the earth (correct)
  • The closer the object is to the center of the earth
  • The velocity of the object
  • The mass of the object

    • What creates a potential difference (ΔP) between two locations?

  • Difference in air pressure
  • Difference in material composition
  • Difference in elevation (correct)
  • Difference in temperature

    • How does the gravitational pull of the earth affect potential energy?

  • It increases with distance from the center of the earth (correct)
  • It is directly proportional to mass
  • It decreases with distance from the center of the earth
  • It is not affected by distance from the center of the earth
