The formula for calculating the gravitational potential energy in an object is shown above. Which object will have the largest value for its GPE
What are Equations for Gravitational Potential Energy?
Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength x Height
Gravitational Potential Energy = Weight x Height
Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength / Height
Gravitational Potential Energy = Weight / Height
