Question

Potential energy depends on:

• A. change in position of the object
• B. velocity with which the object moves
• C. mass of the object
• D. time required to move the object

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

The correct options are
A

change in position of the object

C

mass of the object

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object by virtue of its position.

Potential energy possessed by an object is given by,

PE = $m\times g\times h$, where m - mass of the object, g - acceleration due to gravity and h - height to which the object is raised from ground level.
