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
Which is represented as;
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.
