that would be gravity
Fg = Gm1m2/r^2

What is the type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from earths surface?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
What two factors determine an object's gravitational potential enetgy?
Gravitational potential energy = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above earth's surface. For objects far away from the surface, GPE = GMm/r, where G is a constant, M is the mass of one body, m is the mass of the other, and r is the distance between their centers of mass.
What is potential energy called that depends on height?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possessesdue to its position related to earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy is: m*g*h m=mass g=acceloration due to gravity h=height in relation to zero level/energy because earth's surface (with rare exception) is zero level/energy, meaning that you cant make things fall further than the surface of earth; the potential energy of an object changes based on how much distance you put between the surface and the object, yes.
Is potential energy on the surface of earth is always zero?
That depends on what reference level you have chosen. If the (arbitrary) reference level you chose is Earth's surface, then anything on the Earth's surface has zero potential energy. If you choose some higher reference level, an object on Earth's surface has a negative potential energy. If you choose a lower reference level, an object on Earth's surface would have a positive potential energy.
What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
What is the overall stopping distance of a car travelling at 100km an hour?
you're a tool. dependant upon inertia, stopping surface, braking potential, weight. lots of factors. a car may have ABS or not. this affects the final distance
How do you find the weight of an object on earth?
You could weigh it against other objects. If it is not on the surface, multiply its mass by the acceleration of gravity (at that distance) to find its gravitational potential in newtons.
What is potential energy dependent an object's weight and distance from earth's surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
The type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from Earth's surface?
gravitational potential energy
What is the type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from earths surface?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
Determine the amount of friction caused by rubbing two surface together as a conclusion?
Dependant upon type of material relatively to the speed and pressure of the objects rubbed together.
Is the higher on earths surface the greater the objects potential energy is?
Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.Yes, exactly.
Why is the gravitational potential energy of an objects 1 meter above the moons surface less than its potential energy 1 meter above Earths surface?
because the value of gravitational force of earth is greater than that of moon.
What two factors determine an object's gravitational potential enetgy?
Gravitational potential energy = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height above earth's surface. For objects far away from the surface, GPE = GMm/r, where G is a constant, M is the mass of one body, m is the mass of the other, and r is the distance between their centers of mass.
What do you mean by step and touch potential and it's standard value?
Step Potential is the potential Difference between two points on the earth's surface, separated by distance of one pace, that will be assumed to be one meter in the direction of maximum potential gradient (IS 3043) Touch Potential is the potential difference between a grounded metallic structure and a point on the earth's surface separated by a distance equal to the normal maximum horizontal reach, approximately one meter. (IS 3043)
What potential energy depends on height is called?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
