Which formula represents potential energy?

• Mass times gravity times height

• Mass times speed

• Mass times acceleration

• Mass times velocity squared

Why does a 20 kg mass have more potential energy than a 10 kg mass when held at the same height?

• Because it has less mass

• Because it has more mass

• Because it is closer to the ground

• Because it is heavier
