What two factors determine how much potential energy an object has?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mass of the object and its height in the gravitational field of the Earth.

Explanation:

If we are talking about gravitational potential energy which is defined as:

[tex]U=m\,*\,g\,*\,h[/tex]

being "m" the object's mass, "g" the acceleration due to gravity, and "h" the height at which the object is located relative to the conventionally picked level for zero of potential energy.

As long as the value of "g" is constant, the only two variables that determine the gravitational potential energy are the mass (m) of the object and its relative height (h).

Answer 2

Answer:

The objects weight and height above Earth's surface
