So the the greater the height, the farther something can fall, the greater the potential energy.

Answer:

Explanation:The amount of gravitational potential energy an object has depends on its height and mass. The heavier the object and the higher it is above the ground, the more gravitational potential energy it holds. Gravitational potential energy increases as weight and height increases.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:


{ \tt{potential \: energy = mgh}}

» m is mass

» g is acceleration due to gravity

» h is height.

• But we know that m and g are constant


{ \tt{potential \: energy = kh}}

• k is constant of proportionality


{ \boxed{ \tt{potential \: energy \: \alpha \: \: height}}}
