प्रश्न
State two factors on which the potential energy of a body at a certain height above the ground depends.

उत्तर
- Height of the object from above the ground
- Mass of the object
- Gravitational acceleration due to the planet's gravitational force.
Therefore, P. E. = m (mass) × g (gravitational acceleration) × h (height)
