Answer:

Height and mass

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential energy of a body is the energy due to the position of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

Potential energy = m g h

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the body

Acceleration due to gravity on the earth surface is a constant.

As mass and height of a body increases, the acceleration due to gravity will also increase.
