the higher something is the more potential energy it has. when you drop it that turns into kinetic energy & u gain more momentum. that creates a bigger impact on what the crater hits.

How does the height from which an object is dropped affect the diameter of the crater it forms?

The height from which an object is dropped influences the crater's diameter primarily due to the object’s impact velocity, which increases with greater height due to gravitational acceleration. A higher drop height results in a greater kinetic energy upon impact, leading to a more forceful collision with the surface. This increased energy can displace more material, resulting in a larger crater. Additionally, factors like the object's mass and shape, as well as the surface material's properties, also play significant roles in determining the crater size.

What is energy called when it is used with height?

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position or height above the ground. This energy can be converted into other forms, such as kinetic energy, when the object moves or falls.
