Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Height above a surface

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the energy which an object possesses due to its position above a surface.

It is also the amount of work a force has to do in order to bring an object from a particular position to a point of reference.

It is given mathematically as:

P. E. = m*g*h

where m = mass of the body

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height above a surface

m*g represents the weight of the object.

Hence, Gravitational potential energy is the product of an object's weight and its height above a surface/reference point.
