Question

our new safety limit is 2,450 j of potential energy at the top of the ramp.we cant control the mass of skaters on our ramp to keep them safe.that means our only design option is the height of the ramp.lets figure out how height affects potential energy — and how high we can go without breaking the limit.make a predictionburts potential energy ______ as his height increases.

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is defined by the formula $PE = mgh$, where $m$ is mass, $g$ is acceleration due to gravity, and $h$ is height. For a fixed mass (Burt's mass), potential energy has a direct positive relationship with height. As height increases, potential energy increases proportionally, which aligns with the context of the ramp's potential energy limit.

Answer:

increases
