Move the ball from side to side (left to right) while trying to keep it at the same height. How does changing the horizontal position of the ball affect its potential energy?

                                            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:

do you have a formula possibly

that tool is called an altimeter which measures your altitude which can be used to tell which atmosphere you are currently in, including the stratosphere.

hope this ! : )
