E= -GmM/r is the gravitational potential energy. It depends on the product of the masses and the separation r and of course the gravitational constant G.. ---- or in simpler terms weight and height

Is time dependent on mass energy and distance?
Time is not dependent upon anything. Time is what it is. However, the amount of time necessary for something to happen IS dependent upon the amount of energy put into it, the amount of mass it is happening to and the distance across which it is happening.
What does the dependent variable depend upon?
The Independent Variable!
Is a ball symmetrical?
Dependent upon the ball itself.
What biome pairs are both dependent upon periodic burning?
chaparral and savanna
When acceleration upward or downward direction is taken positivw or negative?
If it is gravitational acceleration then it it is positive in downward and negative in upward direction..if it is not gravitational acceleration then it is depending upon the value of acceleration.
What is potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and height?
That is called gravitational potential energy. Sometimes simply "potential energy", and the "gravitational" part is implied.
What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
What is the type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from earths surface?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
The type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from Earth's surface?
gravitational potential energy
Potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and height?
weight times height
What is electric potential dependent upon?
The magnitude of the electric potential is dependent upon the particle's charge and the electric field strength.
What three things does gravitational kineicenergy depend on?
The concept of Gravitational Kinetic Energy is has three components that it is dependent upon. The volume, the mass and the heat of the elements that are part of the reference frame when looking the inner workings of this energy.
What is the formula of gravitational force?
Gravitational Potential Energy has the formula Es = - GmM/r.Change in Potential Energy by HeightThe energy of gravitational potential (in joules) is given by mass (in kilograms) multiplied by height (in meters) multiplied by the strength of the gravitational field (in newtons per kilogram).On earth, gravitational field strength (g) equals about 9.81Nkg-1. This estimate should be used because g depends in complex ways upon your latitude, altitude and local topography.So use GPE = mgh = 9.81(m)(h)Gravitational Potential Energy= Gravity(9.81) x Mass(kg) x Height (m)**Strictly speaking this is the change in energy as dependent on a change in height. it also can be GPE=mgh.The formula for gravitational potential energy is - GPE (J) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (or 'g') (N/kg) x height (m).
What is the potential energy dependant upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
that would be gravity Fg = Gm1m2/r^2
Electricity is dependent upon what?
The magnitude of the electric potential is dependent upon the particle's charge and the electric field strength.
What two factors influence the gravitational potential energy of an object?
First of all, a clarification on the wording of the question: Gravitational potential energy is the energy associated with the gravitational interaction between objects with mass. Obviously if you just have a single isolated mass, it would not be under the influence of any gravitational fields and therefore there would be no gravitational potential energy. Gravitational potential energy is property that describes a whole system of masses (it could be two masses or three or four or...). When we talk about the gravitational potential energy of an object on Earth, it is implicit that we mean the gravitational potential energy associated with the system of two masses (one being the object in question, and the other being Earth).For simplicity, let's assume that we have two masses labelled m1 and m2. The gravitational potential energy (which I'll label U) is given by the relation:U = (Gm1m2)/r2where r is the distance between the centre of each mass, and G is the universal gravitational constant. You can derive this equation very simply from Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation (which you may be familiar with) and the definition of potential energy. So, what does the potential energy of this system of masses depend upon? Everything that is a variable in the equation! Namely, the mass of each object and their separation. In our everyday example of an object that is some height habove the surface of the Earth, the mass of the Earth doesn't change, and neither does its radius (distance between centre and surface). Therefore, in that particular instance, the potential energy depends only upon two things 1. the height of the object above the surface, and 2. the mass of the object.
The potential energy of an object depends on its?
... the masses of the bodies involved and the distance between them.
