The object would need to be in a raised up position; wherever an object has the potential to fall
The object would need to be right on the ground
Higher
On the ground
Above ground
What kind of position would an object need to possess gravitational potential energy?
Height and weight
Weight and height above ground
Volume and material
Height and volume of the object
What does gravitational potential energy depend on?
Tial energy has the ability to do work
Motion
Friction
What sort of change can gravitational potential energy cause?
Volume abd material
Weight and height above ground
Weight of the object and its height above the ground
Weight
Height
What are the two things gravitational energy depends on?
The change it causes is motion
Motion
Friction
What is the change that Gravitational potential energy can cause?
Skateboarder
Large falling rock
Leaves fall, skateboarder moves downwards
The greater damage a heavy tree branch can cause, and the speed a skateboarder can reach on a ramp
Leaves change color, skateboarder falls
Leave on tress
Name two examples of the effect of gravitational potential energy that are given in the paragraph.
Motion and friction
Weight and height above ground
Height , weight
Gravitational Potential Energy is dependent on weight, and height above the ground
What are two things that Gravitational Potential Energy dependent on?
Mountain
Leaves on trees flying in the wind
Leaves can fall from a tree and a skateboarder can fall from a ramp
Give an example of Gravitational Potential Energy
It gives it the potential to move
Gravitational Potential Energy
The can fall
They change color
What affect does gravitational potential energy have on leaves?
Kinetic Energy
Weight and height above ground
Raised up has the potential to fall
Volume and material
Height and weight of object that is falling
What are two things that effect the force of the fall?
Shrink and expand objects
Change , Motion
Ability to deliver a force and cause motion
Deliver a force and do work
What two things can gravitation potential energy do?
It has gravitational  potential energy
Because the skateboarder possesses gravitational potential energy which is causing motion
He is unstable
Why is the skateboarder, who is up on a ramp, able to move downward to the bottom of the ramp?
The ability to cause motion
Motion
Friction
Deliver make skateboarders move
What is the most important change gravitational potential energy can have?
Gravitational Potential Energy is affected by position. Like the leaves on trees, anything that is raised up has the potential to fall. It has potential energy. You can see examples of people with gravitational potential energy in 1.5 Figure below. Gravitational potential energy depends on two things. It depends on its weight, because a large falling rock can do more damage than a leaf falling from a tree. It also depends on its height above the ground. Like the skateboarder, the higher the ramp, the faster he will be going when he reaches the bottom. Like all energy, gravitational potential energy has the ability to do work. In this case, weight has the potential to deliver a force. More important for us is that it has the ability to cause change. What kind of change you may ask? Gravitational potential energy has the ability to cause motion.
