$\textbf{\large{what is potential energy?}}$

• The energy an object has because of its position, rather than its motion
• Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position.
• All objects have potential energy or stored energy if they are placed in a certain position
• This form of energy has the potential to change the state of other objects around it, for example, the configuration or motion.
