    State two factors on which the potential energy of a body at a certain height above the ground depends.
    Ans : :
    Potential energy = mgh
    ∴ P.E. = m × h × g'
    g' is constant depends upon m and h
    Two factors on which P.E. depends :
    1. Mass: greater the mass, greater is P.E.
    2. Height above the ground: Higher the height of body, greater is the P.E.
