Explanation:
The bigger the mass and the higher the height of the object above earth’s surface, the bigger the potential energy. The potential energy can be evaluated using the formula below;
P.E. = m*g*h, where
m = mass in kilograms,
g = the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m / s² at the surface of the earth), and
h = height in meters.
From the formula, it is clear that increasing mass, gravity or/and height will give an increased potential energy
