Want this question answered?
Mass and Height
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".
It is increased by a factor of 2
The equation for Potential Energy isU=mghWhere:U=Potential energym= MassG= acceleration due to gravity which is 9.81m/s/s on Earthh= heightTherefore, the factors that affect potential energy are mass and height. Technically also gravity but if the experiment is carried out on the same planet, satellite etc then it should be constant.
No. The equation for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, gis 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. Velocity is not a factor in determining potential energy.

location
length
This can be deduced quite simply from the formula for potential energy: PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height)
mass and distance

two
The mass and distance (weight and height) determine the potential energy. A third factor can be the relative motion of the objects, which does not change the potential but may determine its effect.
