Its weight and the height
Thank you....
Mass and distance
Gravitational potential energy = (weight of the object) x (height) or Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height)
Mass, gravity, height.
Mass and position.
Gravitational + Potential = 100 If you have 67 J of potential energy your gravitational energy would be 33 J.
Weight and height
Mass and distance
PE=mgh. Potential energy is the product of mass x gravity x height.
Height above the ground, and mass of the object itself.
Look at the formula for gravitational potential energy. The clues are all there.
-- the object's mass -- its height above some reference level
Potential energy can be descirbed in many forms: gravitational potential, electrical potential and so forth. For gravitational potential energy, the formula is E=mgh, where E is the gravitational potential energy, m is the mass of the object , g is the strength of the prevailent gravitational field and h is the height above that field. In this instance, the factors determing the potential energy are threefold; the mass, the gravitational field strength and the height. For electrical potential, the factors vary depending on what electrical field, componant or senario you are dealing with. In essence, an object has electrical potential energy when it has become charged (such as an Ion), or it is feeling the effects of conflicting magnetic feilds and motion (as in electro-magnetic induction).
The two variables that determine gravitational potential energy are height above earths surface mass (also air resistance may come into play but in physics friction and air resistance are usually ignored and)
Gravitational potential energy = (weight of the object) x (height) or Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height)
PE=mgh So the 2 factors that effect gravitational potential energy are: -Mass of the object. -The height of the object.
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.
