Energy possessed by body due to its position.

Energy possessed an apple that is ready to drop from the tree to the ground.

For an object thrown up, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy increases as it move up.

As an object falls, potential energy increases and kinetic energy decreases.

If the mass of an elevated object is doubled, then its gravitational potential energy will be doubled as well.

If the mass of a moving object is doubled, then its kinetic energy will be doubled as well.

Object A has a mass of 1 kg and a speed of 2 m/s. Object B has a mass of 2 kg and a speed of 1 m/s. Objects A and B have the same kinetic energy.
