Answer:

Increases

Step-by-step explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of an object increases as you bring it higher with respect to the ground.

Gravitational potential energy depends on the mass, height and gravity between two bodies;

Gravitational potential energy = mgh

m is the mass

g is the height

h is the height

  • We can clearly see that the higher the elevation, the more the value of the gravitational potential energy.
