What objects have potential energy?

Other examples of items with gravitational potential energy include:

• A raised weight.
• Water that is behind a dam.
• A car that is parked at the top of a hill.
• A yoyo before it is released.
• River water at the top of a waterfall.
• A book on a table before it falls.
• A child at the top of a slide.
• Ripe fruit before it falls.

What is something that has potential energy?

potential energy, stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system. A spring has more potential energy when it is compressed or stretched. A steel ball has more potential energy raised above the ground than it has after falling to Earth.

What objects have the most potential energy?

Higher objects (with further to fall) have greater potential energy. The heaviest of 2 objects at the same height has the greatest gravitational potential energy.

What are 5 types of potential energy?

Systems of objects ranging from atoms to planets can be arranged in many ways, resulting in many forms of potential energy: chemical, elastic, electrical (electromagnetic), gravitational, nuclear, and thermal energy.
