Question

What do you mean by potential energy? Explain with example

Answer 1

Answer:

potential energy means at rest not moving for example sun

Answer 2

Answer:

potential energy

Explanation:

The energy contained in the body because of change in its position, height, structure is called potential energy of that body. For example a stone of mass, m is at the ground, we pick it up and put it on the height h above the ground level, then the body will acquire potential energy of magnitude m.g.h, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. According to the law of conservation of energy potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy.
