I assume you mean the gravitational potential energy. This is proportional to the mass, so if you change the mass by a factor of "a", the gravitational potential energy will change by the same factor of "a".

When you lift an object energy is transferred to an object which gives the object?
When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.
When Bruce lets go of the weight what happens to its energy?
When an object falls down, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What happens when an object at a high elevation loses height?
Loosing potential energy is stored as kinetic energy.
As a puck falls what happens to the potent-ion energy?
When an object falls, the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy.
The potential energy of a freely falling body decreases continuouslyWhat happens to the loss of potential energy?
It becomes kinetic energy. And as an object goes up against gravity, it gains potential energy and loses kinetic energy.
What happens to an object's potential energy as it gains kinetic energy?
It's potential energy decreases.
What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
If you double the volume of an object what happens to the density?
It is halved.
What happens to potential energy of an object as it falls?
It is tranferred/converted into kinetic energy (DECREASES)
What happens to potential energy as you increase the height or position of an object?
It increases.
When you lift an object energy is transferred to an object which gives the object?
When you lift an object, the energy transferred to the object is called gravitational potential energy.
What happens to the object's potential energy when it is dropped?
When an object is dropped, its potential energy decreases. This is because potential energy is a result of an object's position or height above the ground. As the object falls, it loses height, which leads to a decrease in potential energy. At the same time, the object gains kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion.

When an object falls down, potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
What happens when an object at a high elevation loses height?
Loosing potential energy is stored as kinetic energy.
What happens to potential energy after it decreases?
The potential energy will have converted into some other kind of energy. For example, for an object in free fall, it converts to kinetic energy (the object moves faster); if there is some resistance, part of this energy will convert to heat.
