Describe how distance affects gravitational potential energy

The answer is "both of these."

Gravitational energy exists between all objects. We rarely talk about the gravitational energy that exists between objects here on Earth because the pull is so weak. We consider the effect of gravity more often when we talk about planets, stars, and galaxies because they are more massive and have much stronger forces of gravity at work.

The gravitational potential energy of an object depends on the mass of objects, and how far away they are from each other. More massive objects have more gravitational pull. (Remember that just because something is bigger, doesn’t mean it has more mass!) Objects that are closer together have more gravitational pull.

Weight is a measure of the effect of gravity on an object, and can change depending on where we are. Our mass never changes but we weigh less on the moon because there is less gravitational energy between us and the moon. The moon has less gravitational energy than Earth because it is less massive.

The answer is "the objects that are 10 meters apart" because they are closer together and thus have a greater gravitational energy between them.

The answer is "it has a greater mass."

The answer is "when it's on the ground" because it's closer to the body that it's being pulled towards. Though this difference is hardly noticeable until we are high enough to leave the atmosphere.

The answer is "we do not have enough information because we don't know the mass of the objects."

The answer is a planet more massive than the Earth, because it has the most mass.

The answer is "they have different masses."

The answer is "both of these" because increasing the distance and decreasing their mass would both decrease the gravitational pull.
