Question

Does an object have potential energy on the ground?

Answer 1

Gravitational potential energy is due to the position of an object above Earth's surface. The object has the potential to fall due to gravity. Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's weight and its height above the ground (GPE = weight x height). Elastic potential energy is due to an object's shape.

Answer 2

Answer:

Potential energy is energy that is stored in a person or object. ... The object has the potential to fall due to gravity. Gravitational potential energy depends on an object's weight and its height above the ground
