∙ 14y agoTo calculate an object's gravitational potential energy, the following factors must be known:
Mass of the object: The gravitational potential energy of an object depends on its mass. The greater the mass of the object, the greater the gravitational potential energy.
Height or distance: The gravitational potential energy of an object also depends on its height or distance from the reference point. The greater the height or distance of the object from the reference point, the greater the gravitational potential energy.
Acceleration due to gravity: The gravitational potential energy of an object also depends on the acceleration due to gravity at the location of the object. The acceleration due to gravity is a constant value on the surface of the Earth, approximately equal to 9.8 meters per second squared.
The formula for gravitational potential energy is:
PE = mgh
Where PE is the gravitational potential energy, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height or distance of the object from the reference point.

The mass and height
PE=mgh. Potential energy is the product of mass x gravity x height.
gravitational potential energy!!!!!!
They all have the same gravitational potential energies.
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
The masses of the two objects and the distance between the two objects affect the gravitational force between them.
Multiply its weight by its height.
PE=mgh. Potential energy is the product of mass x gravity x height.
gravitational potential energy!!!!!!
Gravitational potential energy
They all have the same gravitational potential energies.
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
A more massive objects have a greater gravitational potential energy.
Yes. Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy; this includes gravitational potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy.
The equation to calculate an object's gravitation potential energy is: PE=MGH where: PE is gravitational potential energy M is the objects mass G is the acceleration due to the gravitational pull of the Earth on its surface ( 9.8 m/s2) H is the height from the location that would give it zero potentional energy (generally the ground)
Its mass and the distance from the center of the earth.
There are two factors that affect the gravitational attraction between two objects. The mass of each object and the distance between their centers of mass are the factors that affect the attraction.
