Gravitational potential energy is a function of the _____ and the ________ of an object.
babymother [125]

Answer:

B = mass, height

Gravitational potential energy is a function of the mass ans the height of an object.

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is

GPE = mgh

m = mass in kilogram

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height in meter above the ground

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Consider the following example:

A crane lifts a 75kg mass a height of 8 m. Calculate the gravitational potential energy  gained by the mass:

Formula:

GP.E = mgh

Now we will put the values in formula.

g = 9.8 m/s²

GP.E = 75 Kg × 9.8 m/s²× 8 m

GP.E = 5880 Kg.m²/s²

Kg.m²/s² = j

GP.E = 5880 j
