Gravitational potential energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field. It is the energy an object has because of its potential to fall towards a source of gravity.
Gravitational potential energy is calculated using the formula U = mgh, where U is the potential energy, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the object.
The relationship between mass and gravitational potential energy is directly proportional. This means that as the mass of an object increases, its gravitational potential energy also increases.
Height has a significant impact on gravitational potential energy. As the height of an object increases, its potential energy also increases. This is because the object has a greater potential to fall and gain kinetic energy.
Yes, gravitational potential energy can be negative. This typically occurs when an object is positioned below the reference level in a gravitational field. In this case, the potential energy is considered to be negative relative to the reference level.
