What 2 factors determine gravitational potential energy?
Mass and distance
What factors affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
Mass, gravity, height.
What two factors determine how much gravitational potential energy is in an object?
Its weight and the height Thank you....
Which factors must be known to calculate an ovjects gravitational potential energy?
Just look at the formula, the factors are all there. GPE = mgh (mass x gravity x height)
At what point during a pole-vaulters jump is his gravitational potential energy the greatest?
His gravitational potential energy is greatest at the highest point in his vault. Viewing this problem ideally (where all outside factors are discarded), the pole vaulter's jump follows a parabolic path, and the vaulter will obviously be the furthest distance from the earth's surface when he reaches the highest point in the parabolic path and begins his descent. The gravitational potential energy of a single object with respect to the earth is given by U = mgh, where U is the energy given in joules, m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational acceleration on earth (around 9.81 m/s2 toward the earth), and h is the positive distance from the earth's surface. In this problem, mass and acceleration are constant, since ideally, the only force acting on the vaulter is the force of gravity that will bring him back to the ground. Therefore, U is maximized at the highest point in the vault - the vertex of the parabola, halfway between the origin of his jump and the point where he hits the ground.

What effects gravitational potential energy?
PE=mgh So the 2 factors that effect gravitational potential energy are: -Mass of the object. -The height of the object.
What two factors determine potential gravitational energy?
Weight and height
What 2 factors determine gravitational potential energy?
Mass and distance
What factors influence gravitational force of attraction?
-- The masses of the two objects being drawn together by mutual gravitational forces. -- The distance between the centers of the two objects. This is a complete list. These are the only factors that influence the strength of the gravitational force between them.
What factors affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
Mass, gravity, height.
What two factors determine the potential energy of an elevated object?
Potential energy can be descirbed in many forms: gravitational potential, electrical potential and so forth. For gravitational potential energy, the formula is E=mgh, where E is the gravitational potential energy, m is the mass of the object , g is the strength of the prevailent gravitational field and h is the height above that field. In this instance, the factors determing the potential energy are threefold; the mass, the gravitational field strength and the height. For electrical potential, the factors vary depending on what electrical field, componant or senario you are dealing with. In essence, an object has electrical potential energy when it has become charged (such as an Ion), or it is feeling the effects of conflicting magnetic feilds and motion (as in electro-magnetic induction).
