Question

What impacts the amount of potential energy?

Velocity (speed) of the object.
Mass and height of the object.
Mass of the object.
Height of the object.

Answer 1

Height of the object and mass.

Step-by-step explanation:

When u hold a 10kg object at 1km above the surface, it may fall at 309kmph.

When u hold a 20kg object at 2km above the earth the object will fall at 618 kmph.

And so on...

Answer 2

Mass and height of the object.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mass and height of the object impacts the amount of potential energy. Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position. An object launched in the air possesses potential energy since it covers a particular height(h) between the ground level and the maximum height. The body is also the influence of gravitational force (g)

According to PE formula

PE = mass × acceleration due to gravity × height
