Question

what is the difference between gravitational potential energy and Elastic potential energy. give one example of these

Answer 1

gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by virtue of its position (with respect to the earth's surface).
And Elastic potential energy is the the energy possess by an elastic body by virtue of its state.

Answer 2

gravitational potential energy is the energy that is possessed due to its height whereas elastic potential energy is the energy that is possessed due to its elasticity...
gravitational potential energy ex:ball falling down from a table..
elastic potential energy ex: rubber stretching and going back to its normal state...
hope it helps you....
