The gravitational potential energy of an object on the earth os dependent on the objects

Height

Explanation:

The question can be answered by considering the following:

First; What is gravitational potential energy?

Gravitational potential energy refers to the energy stored in an object relative to its position from the surface of the earth.

Second; How is GPE calculated?

It is calculated by multiplying the mass of an object by its height from the earth's surface and by the gravitational acceleration.That is, GPE = mass ×gravity × height

Third: What determines the GPE of an object?

Gravitational potential energy depends on the mass of an object and its height from the surface of the earth since g is constant.

Fourth: What can we conclude about the GPE of an object?

Thus an object that is higher from the surface of the earth will have more GPE compared to the same object near the earth's surface.For instance, a book on the topmost shelf will have higher GPE compared to the same book on the lowermost shelf.

Answer to our question;

The suitable answer for our question will therefore be Height.
