Why do objects at high elevations have more potential energy than objects at low elevations?
Because the thinner air at higher elevations means objects have a greater potential to move very fast
Because objects at high elevations are closer to the sun, which is the source of all energy on earth
Because objects at high elevations tend to move slower than objects at low elevations
Because gravity gives objects at high elevations the potential to fall much further
