Question

Explain how gravitational energy and elastic energy relate to each other.

(I searched through other answers to questions similar to this one, and the answers kept saying "The object has the potential to fall due to gravity." I do not understand how this relates to both GE and elastic energy.)

Answer 1

Answer:

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. ... Elastic potential energy is due to an object's shape. It results when an elastic object is stretched or compressed.
