What is the relationship between the gravitational potential energy of an object and the work done on the object by the gravitational force?

I would have described them as different types of energy, so don't see what the relationship could be. If you hit a ball high in the air, it will have elastic energy stored in it from the initial blow, and it will also gain gravitational energy as it rises. The gravitational energy arises because the ball was given kinetic energy when it was hit, the elastic energy because it was deformed, but I don't think they then interact.
IF THIS IS FOR STUDYISLAND THE ANSWER IS A COMPRESSED SPRING

PE=hw
and if you know th PE and the weight you can find the height
and
work=fd
here you can interchange h for d.
and if the object does not fall then no work is done because the does not move thus d=0.

What are two forms of potential energy?
In apex, the answers for 2 potential energies, the answers are Elastic, and Magnetic energy.
What are the two types of potential energy?
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.
What happens to the gravitational energy of an object as it gets higher in a gravitational field?
-- If the velocity is horizontal, then gravitational potential energy doesn't change. -- If velocity is vertical and upward, gravitational potential energy increases at a rate proportional to the speed. -- If velocity is vertical and downward, gravitational potential energy decreases at a rate proportional to speed.
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?
Which energy stored by being high up?
"Gravitational potential" or just "potential" energy.
Relationship between gravitational and potential energy?
Gravitational + Potential = 100 If you have 67 J of potential energy your gravitational energy would be 33 J.
Does the moon have gravitational potential energy?
The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects. Thus, there is a gravitational potential energy between Earth and Moon, or between a rock that you lift up on the Moon, and the Moon.The gravitational potential energy doesn't actually reside in a single object, but in the relationship between two objects.

What is the relationship between Issac Newtons first law of motion and gravitational potential energy?
No Gravitational potential energy equals no force and thus no acceleration.
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
Gravitational energy Potential energy
Is gravitational energy kinetic?
Gravitational energy is the potential energyassociated with the gravitational field.
Why is potential energy called gravitational potential energy?
Potential energy and gravitational potential energy are different from each other ."Potential energy is the ability of a body to do work." Anddue_to_its_height.%22">"Gravitational potential energy is the ability of a body to do work due to its height."Gravitational potential energy is a type of potential energy.
What does potential energy plus gravitational energy equals?
Gravitational-potential energy.
Write a sentence with gravitational potential energy?
The gravitational potential energy between two bodies m and M, is E= - GmM/r^2.
Is gravitational energy the same as gravitational potential energy?
It is a type of potential energy, but there are other types of potential energy, too.
What is difference between gravitational potential energy and gravitational potential?
A body A of mass m is placed in the gravitational field of a body B of mass M. The gravitational potential of body B at a point in the field is the work done is bringing unit mass from infinity to that point and is independent of body A. On the other hand, the gravitational potential energy of body A is the energy possessed by it due to its position in the field. In fact, Gravitational potential energy = mass of body(A) x gravitational potential
How does an object get gravitational potential energy?
An object gets gravitational potential energy by
How is voltage similar to gravitational potential energy?
It isn't. Voltage can be compared to the GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL, which is a concept that is related, but different from, gravitational potential energy.Voltage is the energy change PER UNIT CHARGE between two points. Gravitational potential is the energy PER UNIT MASS between two points.
