    Potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position or state. It depends on factors like an object's mass, height or position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, or electric charge. The formula for gravitational potential energy is PE=mgh. Examples of potential energy include the stretched elastic string in a bow that shoots an arrow forward when released, as well as gravitational potential energy from an object's height and elastic potential energy stored in stretchy objects.

    What is Potential energy?

     potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its


    position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric
    charge, or other factors
    The formula of potential energy

     The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects.
    For the gravitational force the formula is P.E. = mgh, where m is the mass in
    kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m / s2 at the surface of the
    earth) and h is the height in meters.
    Example of potential energy

     A stretched elastic string in a longbow. When the elastic


    string is released, it will cause the arrow to shoot forward.
    Two main types of potential energy
    Elastic potential energy
    Gravitational potential energy
     Gravitational potential energy is energy in an  Elastic potential energy is energy stored in
    object that is held in a vertical position, due to objects that can be stretched or compressed,
    the force of gravity working to pull it down. such as trampolines, rubber bands and bungee
    cords.
