What is the formula for calculating gravitational potential energy?

• PE = mgh

• PE = mg/h

• PE = mh/g

• PE = gh/m

Explain how potential energy is converted into kinetic energy when an object falls.

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately ___ m/s2.

Which of the following factors does NOT affect the gravitational potential energy of an object?

• Color of the object

• Mass of the object

• Height of the object

• Acceleration due to gravity

Discuss the relationship between mass, height, and gravitational potential energy, and how changing one of these variables affects the potential energy.
