Question

explain potential energy and give an example ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors is known as potential energy.

ex : Tree branches high up the tree have potential energy because they can fall to the ground.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

An object can store energy as the result of its position. For example, the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly, a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position.
