Back

Joules (J).

Front

How does height affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

As height increases, gravitational potential energy increases.

Front

How does mass affect gravitational potential energy?

Back

As mass increases, gravitational potential energy increases.

Front

What happens to gravitational potential energy when an object falls?

Back

Gravitational potential energy decreases as the object falls.
