Potential+energy

Potential energy is the stored energy that comes from position.

PE= mgh/PE=wh W=mg

PE=Potential Energy(Joules/J) M=Mass(Kilograms/Kg) G=Accelaration due to gravaty(meters per second/m/s) Acc.gravaty=9.8 H=Height(meters/m) W=Weight(Newtons/N)

Potential energy is an object that has the potential to move. There is no potential energy if something is on the ground. If someone is riding a bike up a hill, they have the most potential energy when on top of the hill. When on a roller coaster the most potntial energy is right before you fall.

Q.A ball weighing 17N is on the ground. What is it's potential energy? A.None. Nothing on the ground will have potential energy.

Q.A 26Kg. turkey is held 17m above the frier. How much potential energy does the ham have? A. 442J of energy.
