$\mathfrak{\green{Answer.}}$Derive the expression kinetic energy, potential energy. Since workdone on the object is equal to mgh, an energy equal to mgh units is gained by the object . This is the potential energy (Ep) of the object. It is clear that the work done is equal to the change in thekinetic energy of an object.

Answer 2

$\textbf\green{Answer :}$


$\huge\textbf\red{Potential Energy :}$


It is the energy possessed by an object due to it's position or configuration.

It is of 2 types :-

$Gravitational\:Potential\:Energy$

$Elastic\:Potential\:Energy$

$\underline\textbf{Derivation :}$

Consider an object of mass (m) is raised to height (h) under gravitational force (mg).

As shown in figure..

As,

W = F × s

W = mg × h

[F = mg and s (displacement) = h]

So,

W = mgh

$\boxed{U = mgh}$

This work done is stored as Potential Energy.
