Will mass affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mass is one of the variables (mass, gravity and height) for which gravitational potential energy is the product (meaning the multiplication of), so increasing mass will increase the gravitational potential energy in direct proportion.
How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potential energy?
Apex Mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.
What factors affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
Mass, gravity, height.
Does speed affect gravitational potential energy of an object?
Does speed 'effect' the gravitational potential energy of an object? No, but gravitational potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy - so the gravitational potential energy can effect the speed. Ep = mgh Energy Potential = mass * 9.81 (gravity) * height Speed / Velocity is absent from that equation.
What will affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
The mass, height and the force of gravity at the location.
How do the mass and height of object affect the gravitational potential energy?
potential energy is mass times height times gravity acceleration; so for example if you double the height or double the mass you double the potential energy
What does gravitational potential energy depend on of the object?
Mass, Height, and Gravity Gravitational Potential Energy= Mass * gravity * height
Does an object have more potential energy the more mass it has?
Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.
What is difference between gravitational potential energy and gravitational potential?
A body A of mass m is placed in the gravitational field of a body B of mass M. The gravitational potential of body B at a point in the field is the work done is bringing unit mass from infinity to that point and is independent of body A. On the other hand, the gravitational potential energy of body A is the energy possessed by it due to its position in the field. In fact, Gravitational potential energy = mass of body(A) x gravitational potential
What happens to the potential energy of an object if the mass is halved?
I assume you mean the gravitational potential energy. This is proportional to the mass, so if you change the mass by a factor of "a", the gravitational potential energy will change by the same factor of "a".
What energy is calculated from an object and mass height and the acceleration due to gravity?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
Potential energy of the mass m?
Gravitational potential energy is calculated as mass x gravity x height.
