Answer:
Explanation:
Potential energy is energy that is stored – or conserved - in an object or substance. This stored energy is based on the position, arrangement or state of the object or substance.
You can think of it as energy that has the 'potential' to do work. When the position, arrangement or state of the object changes, the stored energy will be released.
For example, it requires energy to compress a spring – but what happens to that energy once the spring has been compressed? After all, we know that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be converted from one form to another.
Well, in the case of our spring, the kinetic energy used to compress the spring has been converted to potential energy. When we release the spring, the stored potential energy will be converted back into kinetic energy.
Answer:
POTENTIAL ENERGY IS DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO MASS.
U = m g h
U is directly proportional to MASS.
therefore,
heavy mass have more energy than light mass.
