Which of the following types of energy varies with the height of an object?
APotential energy
BNuclear energy
CKinetic energy
DChemical energy
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Potential energy
1. Gravitational potential energy = m g h.
2. It depends directly on the height h of the object.
3. So potential energy varies with height.
