Question

If you increase______and _____then you will increase the objects amount of potential energy. a. mass, speed b. mass, velocity c. mass, height d. mass, acceleration​

Answer 1

The correct answer is c. mass, height.

If you increase the mass of an object and raise it to a higher height, you will increase its amount of potential energy. Potential energy is directly proportional to both mass and height.

The potential energy of an object in a gravitational field is given by the equation:

Potential Energy = mass * gravitational acceleration * height

By increasing the mass (m) and the height (h), the potential energy (PE) of the object increases:

PE ∝ m * h

Therefore, increasing the mass and height of an object will increase its potential energy.
