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.
What is the mathematical expression for gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy = (object's mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (object's altitude)
How do you find the gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational Potential Energy is equal to Potential Energy therefore the formula for GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy) is PE=mass x gravity x height therefore the formula is PE=mgh
How do you calulate gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential = Mass x Gravitational field strength x Height moved Note: Newton x Metre = Joule Kowalsi
What 2 factors determine gravitational potential energy?
Mass and distance
