Answer:

Both, potential energy and kinetic energy depends on mass. The higher the mass, the higher the energy. However, the difference is that potential energy depends on vertical height whereas kinetic energy depends on the velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula we can see that;

Potential Energy = mass* gravitational acceleration *vertical height.

Kinetic Energy = 0.5 * mass * (velocity)^2
