Two cars are lifted to the same elevation in a service station If one car is twice as massive as the other how do their potential energies compare?

potential energy is mgh
where :
m= mass
g= gravity
h= height
everything is the same except mass.
one car would be 2mgh and the other just mgh
so the more massive car has twice as much potential energy.
hope this helps!

Which mass has more potential energy?
A more massive objects have a greater gravitational potential energy.
What is gravitaional potential energy related too?
Mass, and its distance from a nearby massive body.
How does the Nile relate in size to the US?
You cannot compare, one is a river and the other a massive country.
How would jupiters gravity compare to that of venus?
Jupiter is more massive then Venus, so Jupiter has more gravity. (the more massive a planet is, the more gravitational force it has on other objects)
Why is earth so small and insignificant?
Because you're comparing it to the universe. Compare it to a grain of sand and it looks massive.
Compare rights of US citizens to rights of Canadian citizens?
This is a massive question, one that is too large in scope to cover in this small space. You would have to compare the Canadian Constitution to the American Constitution. As well you would have to compare the Bill of Rights from both nations.
What are three situations that the gravitational potential energy of an object changes?
1. The object moves relative to the more massive body. 2. The more massive body moves. 3. The mass of the body is altered through quantum effects.
How do Jovian and terrestrial planets compare?
Jovian planets are more massive and lower in average density. Terrestrial planets are smaller and higher in average density.
What is a compressed Bankai?
A compresed Bankia is where you take your massive spirtal pressure and you compress is into a small bankia. For example: compare the size of Icigo's bankai and shikia.
How does the mass of an electron compare to the mass of the neutron?
The electron has only a small fraction of the mass of the neutron. The neutron is about 1837 times as massive as the electron. The proton is just a tiny bit less massive as the neutron, so the proton and neutron are said to have about the same amount of mass.

How does the mass of the nucleus compare to the mass of the electron?
The nucleus is far more massive than the electron cloud. The mass of the electron cloud is almost negligible compared to that of the nucleus.
