Answer:
Potential energy : It is the energy possessed by a body at rest due to its position or size and shape is called potential energy.
Examples : A body placed at a height above the ground, a wound up watch spring, a compressed string, a bent bow, a stretched rubber band, etc..
Explanation:
Forms of potential energy :
- Gravitational potential energy
- Elastic potential energy
Gravitational P.E : The potential energy possessed by a body due to to the force of attraction of Earth on an body, object is called its gravitational p.e.
Elastic P.E : The potential energy possessed by a body in the deformed state due to change in its size and shape is called its elastic p.e. It is the amount of work done in deforming the body changing the size and shape of the body.
