As something gets lifted higher off the ground, its _______ _______ increases
Potential Energy
Which has the most potential energy; A rock that is 10 meters above ground or A rock that is 5 meters above ground and why?
The rock that is 10m above the ground because the higher it goes, the more potential energy it stores.
