Respuesta :
Mass is the factors that can affect the gravitational potential energy.
What are the differences between the gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy:
Consider two objects, one object is to be fixed and if the another object is moving from some distance. The force of gravity between two objects depends only on the masses and the distance between them.
Energy in = Work done
Work done = mgh = Energy out
Through the definition, we came to know that Gravitation is a conservative force, so that we can define the potential energy associated with it.
Elastic potential energy:
Consider the stretched rubber string of a catapult, that possesses elastic potential energy because of the change in shape of the string. The elastic potential energy can be declared only by knowing the stretched and compressed according to its shape.
Energy = [tex]\frac{1}{2}k{\Delta x}^2[/tex]
Thus, Option D is the correct answer.
