Gravitational Potential Energy is defined as:

• the energy an object has due to its motion

• the energy a spring has due to its stretch

• the energy an object has due to its height from the ground

• the chemical energy stored in the molecules of atoms

The equation for PE (gravitational potential energy) is:

• mgh²
