Question

As the height of a substance or a body is increased with respect to Earth, the body gains more energy.

• A. potential
• B. kinetic
• C. thermal

Answer 1

The correct option is A potential

Let a body of mass $m$ is raised to a height $h$ and $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity.
We know, potential energy is given by $mgh$.
As the body is raised, its distance from the earth increases. Thus the body gains more potential energy.
