Question

Which object has less gravitational potential energy when both have the same mass?

  1. 3m
  2. 6m
  3. Both have equal potential energies
  4. Both have zero potential energies

hintHint:

The gravitational potential energy of two objects that have the same height will be equal.

The correct answer is: Both have equal potential energies


    • The height of the object is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.
    • The increase or decrease in the height of the object alters the gravitational potential energy.
    • When two objects are held at the same height, the GPE in both will be the same.
