Understanding Gravitational Potential Energy and Gravitational Force

What is the primary difference between gravitational potential energy and gravitational force?

• Gravitational potential energy is a type of force, while gravitational force is a type of energy.

• Gravitational potential energy depends on height and mass, while gravitational force depends only on mass.

• Gravitational potential energy and gravitational force are the same.

• Gravitational potential energy is constant, while gravitational force changes with height.

Which factors influence the amount of gravitational potential energy an object has?

• Neither height nor mass.

• Both the height and mass of the object.

• Only the mass of the object.

• Only the height of the object.

If you are standing on a hill, how does your gravitational potential energy compare to when you are on the ground?

• It depends on the weather.

• It is the same on the hill and on the ground.

• It is more on the hill.

• It is less on the hill.

What does gravitational force depend on?

• Neither height nor mass.

• The height of the object.

• The mass of the object.

• Both height and mass.

How does the gravitational force acting on you change when you move to a higher altitude?

• It increases.

• It decreases.

• It remains the same.

• It fluctuates randomly.
