Question

what is the difference between gravitational potential Energy and elastic potential Energy
​

Answer 1

Answer:

The potential energy possessed by a body at a height above the ground is called gravitational potential energy whereas the potential energy possessed by a body due to change in its configuration or shape is called elastic potential energy.

Answer 2

Hey guys

The main difference between gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy is that the origin of gravitational potential energy is the gravitational forces acting between two massive bodies where as the origin of elastic potential energy is the electrostatic forces between molecules that make up a material .
