Question

read the text about an object in motion. tom rode his motorcycle from the bottom of a hill to the top of the hill. complete the statement. assume that the motorcycles mass did not change. the gravitational potential energy stored between the motorcycle and earth as tom rode up the hill. increased decreased stayed the same

Explanation:

The formula for gravitational potential energy is $U = mgh$, where $m$ is mass, $g$ is gravitational - acceleration, and $h$ is height. As Tom rides up the hill, height $h$ increases while mass $m$ and gravitational - acceleration $g$ remain constant. So, gravitational potential energy increases.

Answer:

increased
