Question

define potential energy and its properties​

Answer 1

Answer:

To summarize, potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.

Answer 2

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position.

Properties:-

Potential energy is stored energy.

Potential energy is the energy that exists by virtue of the relative positions (configurations) of the objects within a physical system.

This form of energy has the potential to change the state of other objects around it, for example, the configuration or motion.
