When the height of the cylinder increased by a factor of 5from 100 m to 500 m, what happened to the cylinder's
gravitational potential energy?
It decreased by a factor of 10
It decreased by a factor of 5.
It increased by a factor of 5.
It increased by a factor of 10

It increased by a factor of 5

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is given by the following formula:

Where:

is the mass of the cylinder (assumed as constant)

is the acceleration due gravity (assumed as constant)

is the height of the cylinder

As we can see, is directly proportional to . Hence, if increases by a factor of 5 increases by a factor of 5, as well.
