Question

The gravitational potential energy of a body depends on its velocity.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. The formula for the gravitational potential energy is $U_g=mgh$, where $m$ is the mass of the body $g$is the acceleration due to gravity and $h$ is the height of the body with respect to the earth's surface.
2. Hence, the gravitational potential energy of a body does not depend on its velocity.

Hence, the given statement is false.
