Gravitational Potential Energy Evaluation

A body gains energy when raised from the ground and loses its energy when made to fall. The energy gained or lost by the body is called ______________.

A higher potential energy is transferred to the body when its height or __________ from the ground is increased.

Gravity is the force between two objects that have _____________.

The farther away they are from each other, the farther they have to fall and the more _______________________energy they have.

GPE is dependent on the mass of the body and its __________ or distance from the ground.

Since the work is done against the gravity, it is called gravitational potential energy.

• True

• False

The body lifted from the ground gains energy.

• False

• True

When a body falls to the ground, work is done by the gravity, its potential energy increases because it is transformed to kinetic energy of the body.

• False

• True

The Potential Energy is the energy due to its motion.

• True

• False
