Suppose the entire population of the world gathers in one spot and, at the sounding of a prearranged signal, everyone jumps up.

While all the people are in the air, does Earth gain momentum in the opposite direction?
a) No; the inertial mass of Earth is so large that the planet’s change in motion is imperceptible.
b) Yes; because of its much larger inertial mass, however, the change in momentum of Earth is much less than that of all the jumping people.
c) Yes; Earth recoils, like a rifle firing a bullet, with a change in momentum equal to and opposite that of the people.
d) It depends.

Increasing which two things would increase gravitational potential energy?
sukhopar [10]

Answer:

Mass and height

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Which is represented as;

PE_g=mgh

PE_g stands for gravitational potantial energy,

m stands for mass of object,

g is the gravitational constant and

h is the height.

Here we see that mass of object and height is directly proportional to the gravitational potential energy.

That means increasing in mass and height will result in increasing gravitational potential energy.
