Question

what are the two types of potential energy? Define them.

Answer 1

Answer:Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object or substance. The two main types of potential energy are gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy.

Gravitational potential energy: Gravitational energy or gravitational potential energy is the potential energy a massive object has in relation to another massive object due to gravity.

Elastic potential energy: Elastic potential energy is energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object.
