Question

Define potential energy. Derive the equation for potential energy of a body at height
‘h’

Answer 1

ANSWER : The energy possessed by a body in virtue of it's changed position or configuration is called potential energy

there are two types of potential energy are :

• gravitational potential energy
• elastic potential energy.

at an height 'h' the potential energy is E=mgh where m=mass g=gravitational acceleration and h=height

This is your needed answer pls mark as brainlest hope it helps

Answer 2

POTENTIAL ENERGY: The energy possessed by the body because of it position or shape is called potential energy. Therefore, the equation for gravitational potential energy of a body of mass m at a height h is mgh.
