New cards

The gravitational potential energy store of an object increases when

it moves up

2
New cards

The gravitational potential energy store of an object decreases when

it moves down

3
New cards

The gravitational potential energy store of an object increases when it is lifted up because

work is done on it to overcome the gravitational force

4
New cards

the gravitational field strength at the surface of the moon is

less than on the earth

5
New cards

the change in the gpe of an object is

Eₚ = m (mass) x g (gravitational field strength) x h (change of height)
