Question

10 POINTS QUESTION: Objects of different masses are suspended from a height. Which combination of features will have the greatest gravitational potential energy?
A. high mass and high height
B. high mass and low height
C. low mass and low height
D. low mass and high height

Answer 1

Answer: high mass and high height

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is refered as the potential energy that has to do with the energy in a particular object due to the height of that object.

With the above explanation, when objects that have different masses are suspended from a height, the one that will have the greatest gravitational potential energy will be the one with a high mass and high height.

Therefore, the correct option is A.
