10 Questions
In the context of the text, what is the formula for gravitational potential energy?
$m \times h \times g$
What type of energy is associated with a body's higher position above the earth?
Gravitational potential energy
How is potential energy related to the work done on a body against gravity?
The work done is stored as potential energy in the object.
Which factor affects the potential energy of an object according to the text?
Height above the ground
In the context of potential energy, what happens to the potential energy when an object has more mass?
Potential energy increases
If two objects have the same mass but different heights above the ground, which object will have more potential energy?
The object at a greater height
What happens to the potential energy of an object if its height is increased?
Potential energy increases
If two objects of the same mass are raised to different heights, which object will have more potential energy?
The object raised to the higher height
If two objects with different masses are raised to the same height, which object will have more potential energy?
The heavier object
Is it true that potential energy is dependent on the path taken by an object?
No, potential energy is independent of the path
