Select all of the factors that influence GRAVITATIONAL potential energy (Lesson 3.10): Select all that apply

A) Amount of compression

B) Hardness

C) Mass

D) Amount of stretch

E) Distance from ground

C) Mass

E) Distance from ground

Explanation:

The factors that influence the gravitational potential energy are mass and distance from the ground or height.

Gravitational potential energy is potential energy of a body in relation to that of another under the influence of gravity.

  Mathematically;

      Gravitational potential energy  = mgh

where m is the mass

           g is the acceleration due to gravity

           h is the height
