Question

What do tou mean by potential energy? Find the expression for it?

Answer 1

The energy causes to the position of an object, is called potential energy. it is denoted by 'U'

If an object mass of 'm' and gravitational acceleration 'a' and then expression of potential energy is

U= mgh

Answer 2

The energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position is called as potential energy.
potential energy = mass × gravity × height
P.E. = mgh
