When the mass of the cylinder increased from 3. 0 kg to 6. 0 kg, what happened to the amount of heat generated in the system? It decreased by a factor of 3. It decreased by a factor of 2. It increased by a factor of 2. It increased by a factor of 3.

If the height is held constant and the mass of the cylinder is increased by a factor of three, the gravitational potential energy will also increase by a factor of three.

The gravitational potential energy refers to the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position in the gravitational field.

Recall that the gravitational potential energy is given by; mgh

Where;

m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

If the height is held constant and the mass of the cylinder is increased by a factor of three, we can also see that the gravitational potential energy will also increase by a factor of three.
