Which actions would increase the potential energy of a cup placed on a kitchen counter? Choose more than one answer.

- Slide the cup away from the edge

- Fill the cup with water

- Turn the cup upside down

- Add a handle to the cup

- Move the cup to the floor

Lift the cup over the counter

The actions that could increased the potential energy is

The following information should be considered:

So,  

PE= mgh

Fill the cup with water

Add a handle to the cup

Explanation:

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of it position.

If the body has a mass of m, a height h Meters above the ground

PE= mgh

Hence

1. Fill the cup with water will increase potential energy since we are also increasing mass and weight

2. We can also see that adding a handle to cup increases The Masss of the cup, this also increases the potential energy.
