How does potential energy of an object change when its height is tripled?

The formula for PE = m•g•h, where mis mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.81m/s2, and h is height in meters. If the height of an object is tripled, the PE will triple.
Example
Height of 2.00 meters:
PE = 2.00kg x 9.81m/s2 x 2.00m = 39.2 Joules
Triple the height to 6.00 meters:
PE = 2.00kg x 9.81m/s2 x 6.00m = 118 Joules
PE is tripled:
39.2 Joules x 3 = 118 Joules

How is potential energy of an object change when it's height is tripled?
it will become three time, as potential energy=mgh substitude, h'=3h than potential energy=mgh' =mg(3h) =3(mgh) =three times original potential energy
How do you think the potential energy will change if you change the length of the ramp?
Gravitational potential energy depends on the difference of height. If the length of the ramp is changed, but the endpoints have the same difference in height, there won't be any change in gravitational potential energy. If, on the other hand, the change is done in a way that the height does change, then gravitational potential energy will also change.
Energy at a height is called what?
Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.
How would doubling the height of an object change the object's potential energy?
Also double since potential energy is the energy stored in a body due it's position.
How does mass and height affect potential energy?
Increased mass and/or height increase potential energy.

How do you calculate change in energy?
The change in potential energy is equal to mass*gravity*change in height

How do you calculate change in potential energy?
more often than not, potential energy is calculated, not measured, based on which means of energy conversion you are looking for. Potential energy released by falling is not the same as potential energy of a nuclear reaction, although the same object can do both
How is the height of an object related to its potential energy?
The formula for potential energy is: G.P.E. (gravitational potential energy) = Weight x Height
When did the potential energy of the ball begin to change to kinetic energy?
when the position of the BALL is changed WITH RESPECT TO HEIGHT then P.E change in to K.E
What is the person's potential energy at this height?
Not sure what you mean by "this height". An object's potential energy is equal to:gravitational potential energy = mass x gravity x height
How would doubling the height of an object change the object's potential energy?
Also double since potential energy is the energy stored in a body due it's position.
How does mass and height affect potential energy?
Increased mass and/or height increase potential energy.
Is potential energy that depends on height is elastic potential energy?
No.
What is the relationship between the work done while moving a book to a higher bookshelf and the change of potential energy?
It is the same - work done is weight x height and potential energy change is the same at the new height
