  6. Potential energy is energy stored in an object. This energy has the potential to do work. Gravity gives potential energy to an object.

  15. In physics, potential energy is energy stored in a system of forcefully interacting physical entities.[1] The SI unit for measuring work and energy is the joule (symbol J).

    The term potential energy was introduced by the 19th century Scottish engineer and physicist William Rankine,[2][3] although it has links to Greek philosopher Aristotle's concept of potentiality. Potential energy is associated with forces that act on a body in a way that depends only on the body's position in space. These forces can be represented by a vector at every point in space forming what is known as a vector field of forces, or a force field.

    If the work of a force field acting on a body that moves from a start to an end position is determined only by these two positions, and does not depend on the trajectory of the body, then there is a function known as potential energy that can be evaluated at the two positions to determine this work. Furthermore, the force field is determined by this potential energy and is described as derivable from a potential.

  30. The energy of a particle or system of particles derived from position, or condition, rather than motion. A raised weight, coiled spring, or charged battery has potential energy.

  31. Potential Energy Definition: Potential energy is that energy which an object has because of its position. It is called potential energy because it has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.
    Example: If you lift a mass m by h meters, its potential energy will be mgh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

  35. potential energy is energy that an object has because where it is.Depending on where the object is,like on top of a shelf for example,means that is has more potential energy than an object on the bottom of the shelf.

  43. An object can store energy as the result of its position. For example, the heavy ball of a demolition machine is storing energy when it is held at an elevated position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Similarly, a drawn bow is able to store energy as the result of its position. When assuming its usual position (i.e., when not drawn), there is no energy stored in the bow. Yet when its position is altered from its usual equilibrium position, the bow is able to store energy by virtue of its position. This stored energy of position is referred to as potential energy. Potential energy is the stored energy of position possessed by an object.
