Question

potential energy is the energy an object has due to its​

Answer 1

Answer:

To summarize, potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height.

Answer 2

Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its​ position.

Explanation:

• Potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other causes.
• Potential energy is a type of stored energy that is affected by the relative positions of various components in a system.
• When a spring is compressed or stretched, it has more potential energy. A steel ball has more potential energy when it is raised above the ground than when it is dropped to the ground.
• As an object's gravitational potential energy is proportional to its height above zero, doubling the height will result in a doubling of the gravitational potential energy.
