Question

How does the gravitational potential energy of an object in a uniform field depend upon the strength of the field?

A. GPE ∝ g⁻¹

B. GPE ∝ g⁻²

C. GPE ∝ g

D. GPE ∝ g²

Answer 1

gravitational potential energy = mgh

where m = mass

g = gravitational constant

h = change in height

This means that gravitational potential energy is proportional to g so your answer is C.
