Question

Difference between :

Gravitation potential energy and Elastic Potential energy​

Answer 1

Answer:

Gravitation potential energy :-

Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy due to the position of the body above the ground.Gravitational potential energy is energy in an object that is held in a vertical position.

Elastic Potential energy :-

While elastic potential energy is the potential energy due to change in the shape and size of the body. Storing of water in the overhead tank is an example of gravitational potential energy while stretching of a rubber band is an example of elastic potential energy.Elastic potential energy is energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed.
