Detailed explanation-1: -Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position above Earth, energy due to its height. We know this energy exists because it takes effort to lift an object up to a height and also because when we release an object, it falls, gaining kinetic energy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field.
Detailed explanation-3: -We have that the gravitational potential energy of an object is equal to the object’s weight multiplied by the object’s height ℎ. This formula provides another way of calculating the gravitational potential energy of an object if we know the weight and the height.
Detailed explanation-4: -Gravitational energy or gravitational potential energy is the potential energy a massive object has in relation to another massive object due to gravity. It is the potential energy associated with the gravitational field, which is released (converted into kinetic energy) when the objects fall towards each other.
