MCQ
A heavy object has .......  gravitational potential energy than a lighter one.
  • A
    Less
  • B
    More
  • C
    Same
  • D
    None of these

Answer

  1. More

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is given by

E P = mgh

where m is mass so heavy object means more mass and more mass means more potential energy.
