That depends on the type of energy. There are different types of potential energy. For example, in the case of GRAVITATIONAL potential energy, this is equal to mgh (mass x gravity x height). You basically have no influence over Earth's gravitational field, so you might say it depends on mass and height. Similarly in the case of other types of potential energy, you can look at the specific formula, to calculate the energy, to see what it depends on.
Near the surface of the Earth
PE=mgh
mass*gravity*height
kg*m/s2*m
PE = mgh thus PE depends upon 3 quantities.
g is acceleration due to gravity -- usually assumed to be constant 9.81 m/s^2
Thus the two remaining are mass and height.
the two things that affect potential energy is mass and speed just kidding
PEgravitational = mass * gravity * height.
Mass * gravity = weight
Therefore the two factors are weight and height.
Its MASS and its Elevation above a common reference point.
Potential energy = mgh, the product of mass, gravity and height. Assuming the gravity can't be controlled, the other two factors can change the amount of potential energy.
thermal energy and heat
Do you mean "a moving object"? Then the answer is mass & speed.
On earth, mass and height. PE = mgh Weight and height. (note that m*g, as above, equals weight). This therefore applies not just on Earth.
Yes, the hotter an object is, the greater the thermal energy it has.
There are more than two factors, however, the main two factors are kilowatt hours of energy used and weather the energy is used in peak or off-peak times. Other factors like power factor correction and maintenance of on-site transformers and power conditioning equipment for large businesses can affect how much a business pays for electricity.
An object's mass determines how much gravity it has.
Mass and Velocity

Its weight and the height Thank you....
The two factors, assuming in our earth planet, are object mass and its height away from the earth ground or any selected zero level.
The two factors are the amount of mass an object has and the distance between the two objects.

it depends on the object. be specific............
Mass is used to determine how much matter an object holds/how much matter is in the object welcome!!
