An object increases its energy when raised through a height. give reason
Added by Linda H.
Step 1
This work is equal to the force applied multiplied by the distance moved in the direction of the force. As a result, the object gains potential energy, which is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration. The potential energy of an Show more…

Assertion: An object increases its energy when raised through a height. Reason: Work is done on it against gravity while it is being raised.
Sri K.
There is always an increase in potential energy when an object is raised higher above the surface of the earth, that is, when the distance between the earth and the object increases. Increasing the distance between two electrically charged objects, however, may raise or lower potential energy. How can this be?
how can mass, weight and height affect the potential energy of an object
