How does the amount of a relationship between a ball’s height above the ground ( 0m, 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m 5m ) affect the gravitational potential energy (J).

Answer:

They are linearly proportional, i.e. the higher the ball is, the more potential energy it has.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is PE=mgh where m is mass of the object, h is height above the ground and g is the constant of gravitational acceleration (9.81 m=s²). So, if we increase the heigth, the potential energy also increases.
