Answer:
Since the gravitational potential energy of an object is directly proportional to its height above the zero position, a doubling of the height will result in a doubling of the gravitational potential energy. A tripling of the height will result in a tripling of the gravitational potential energy.
Explanation:
The higher up an object is the greater its gravitational potential energy. ... This is because a tree has more mass, so it needs to be given more gravitational potential energy to reach the same height. So a change in gravitational potential energy also depends on the mass of the object that is changing height.
