In general, as objects get larger, mass increases faster than height, because height is a linear, or one dimensional measurement, whereas mass is related to volume, and volume would as a general rule be proportional to the cube of the height. I will add that your question is rather vague. A person who is getting fat, for example, could double in mass without any change in height. An empty box could have something put inside it that would cause it to double in mass without any increase in height. There are many different possible situations involving increased mass, which would have a variety of effects on height.

How would doubling the mass of an object change the object's potential energy?

Doubling the mass of an object would double its potential energy as long as the height or position of the object remains constant. Potential energy is directly proportional to mass when height is a constant factor.


How would doubling the height of an object change the object's potential energy?

Also double since potential energy is the energy stored in a body due it's position.


Which would have greater effect on kinetic energy of an object doubling the mass or doubling the velocity?

Doubling the velocity would have a greater effect on the kinetic energy of an object. The kinetic energy of an object is directly proportional to the square of its velocity, while it is only linearly proportional to its mass. Therefore, increasing the velocity has a more significant impact on the kinetic energy.


Which would have greater effect on kinetic energy of an object - doubling the mass or doubling the velocity?

Doubling mass affects kinetic energy in that the greater the mass, the greater the kinetic energy. OK, but if you have a 10kg mass traveling at 2m/s and it bumps into and sticks to a 10g mass, the resultant speed would be 1m/s. The momentum stays the same. KE before is 10*2*2/2= 20, while the KE after is 20*1*1/2= 10. So it is not that the above answer is wrong, but rather, you question is not clear.


What is Two ways to decrease the Gravitational Potential Energy of an object?

Two ways to decrease the gravitational potential energy of an object are to reduce its height above the reference point or reduce its mass. Both of these factors affect the gravitational potential energy because it is directly proportional to the height above the reference point and the mass of the object.

What is the height of the shadow when the distance from the light source to object is 24cm?

It depends what angle the light is at, for example the shadow would be longer if the light was looking atr the object from the side (45 degrees) than it would be if looking at it from the top of the object(180 degrees).


What causes an object to fall from a height?

Gravity causes an object to fall from a height. Without gravity, the object would just be floating in the air.


What would have the most potential energy?

Potential energy is the amount of energy stored in an object due to its height. This is maximum for an object which has maximum height and vice versa. So the most potential energy would be for object with greatest height.


If bacteria doubles in a generation How many bacteria will be in the sixth generation?

I'm not completely sure but I think it's like this. Doubling 1 would be 2. Doubling 2 would be 4. Doubling 4 would be 8. Doubling 8 would be 16. Doubling 16 would be 32. Doubling 32 would be 64. (

Building a model of an object to scale means that the height of the object is what to the height of the model?

When building a model of an object to scale, it means that the height of the object is proportionally greater than the height of the model. Usual scales are 1:100 or 1:144, meaning that if the height of the model is 3 feet, the height of the actual building would be 300 feet or 432 feet.
