What do you think will happen to the potential energy of the ball if the mass of the ball remains the same and placed in a higher position?

Potential energy of the ball would increase

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy of an object is:

Potential Energy (object) = mass x gravity x height

In your question, the value for height is increased when the object (ball) is placed in a higher position. This creates a net positive change in the right-hand side of the formula and since the value of mass and gravity doesn't change because gravity is a constant (meaning it's always 9.8N/kg) and the mass is said to be kept the same, the ball's potential energy would increase.

s the environmental science is a broader field that incorporates many elements of earth and life sciences, whereas ecology is usually more focused on how organisms interact with each other and their surroundings, and often on a very specific population of living things. soo yea

explanation:

force is based upon mass and acceleration.the statement is not always true.

it can be explained from newton's second law of motion.

as per newton's second law of motion the rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the applied force and takes place along the direction of force.

mathematically it can be written as -

                                              ⇒      

here   k is the proportionality constant whose value is 1.

                                                            [a is the acceleration=dv/dt]

hence we see that force not only depends on mass and acceleration but also on velocity and rate of change of mass. force f will depend on mass and acceleration only when mass is constant.

hence the statement that force is based upon mass and acceleration is false.
