Want this question answered?
On Earth, Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) would increase with an increasing altitude.
That refers to potential energy related to a gravitational field. In simple terms, an object that is higher up has more energy than one that is lower. This energy can be converted into other energy types; for example, when an object falls down, its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy (i.e., movement). The formula for gravitational potential energy is: GPE = wh (weight x height) or equivalently: GPE = mgh (mass x gravity x height)
mgh, where m= mass, g= gravity, and h= height above ground
i don't understand the relationship part but i know GPE which is gravitational potential energy is any object above the ground i hope this helps if it doesn't i don't care bye doodles he he i am funny popopoop limbo limbo limbo how low can you go how low can you go he he
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is essentially a measure of stored energy. It is defined as being a function of gravity (9.8m/s2 on Earth), mass and perpedicular distance above the ground.Since work is a measure of energy the GPE is a measure of potential work. Work is defined as:Work = Force * Distance = FdNewton's laws of motion are then used to replace force with some function of mass and acceleration due to gravity:Force = Mass * Acceleration = maor, in this case,Force = Mass * Gravity = mgTherefore:GPE = Mass * Gravity * Distance = mgdFor a falling object it is losing potential energy as it moves closer to the ground (because the distance value in the equation above is reducing) so the distance between the object and the ground defines the remaining GPE of the falling object for the remainder of the fall after this point. This equation will only tell you the GPE relative to distance from the ground, as mass and gravity are constants.If you wanted to take that a bit further you can factor in the speed of falling and derive equations to calculate the GPE at a specific time interval relative to when the object is released. To do this we need Newton's equations of motion (I've cancelled out and modified the below equation for simplicity):Distance = ( Gravity * Time * Time ) / 2 = 0.5gt2Plugging this into the GPE equation we get,Remaining GPE = mg(d-0.5gt2)Examples:So if an object with a mass of 100kg is held at 50m above the ground on Earth it will have a GPE of:GPE = mgd = 100 * 9.8 * 50 = 49.00kJIf the object is released and we want to know the remaining GPE after 1 second:Remaining GPE = mg(d-0.5gt2) = 100 * 9.8 * ( 50 - ( 0.5 * 9.8 * 12 ) ) = 44.20kJRemaining GPE after 2 seconds:Remaining GPE = mg(d-0.5gt2) = 100 * 9.8 * ( 50 - ( 0.5 * 9.8 * 22 ) ) = 29.79kJ
GPE = Mass * Height so Mass = GPE/Height
It does not. GPE depends only on the height of the object over some reference level, and the gravitational attraction.It does not.

The gravitational potential energy is equal to: GPE = mass x gravity x height Or equivalently: GPE = weight x height
Height= GPE/gravitational constant(mass)
Gravitational potential energy or GPE.
GPE=weight x height
On Earth, Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) would increase with an increasing altitude.
The correct formula for solving GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy) is as follows: ~GPE = wh ~Gravitational Potential Energy = weight of an object multiplied by height of an object ~The SI unit for this formula is *J* (Joules)
GPE can be increased by lifting a heavier object i.e. increasing mass, or by lifting the object higher i.e. increasing height. This is described by E=mgh. Where m and h are the variables explained previously.
If the mass of an object were to increase then the GPE ( gravitational potential energy) of that object will increase i.e. the pulling power of the object will increase (the value of g will increase). Hope this helps
Yes. GPE = mgh (mass x gravity x height).
Weight*Height Mass*9.8*Height \
