1.To summarize, potential energy is theenergy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zeroposition. An object possesses gravitational potential energy if it is positioned at a height above (or below) the zero height. 2. GPE=mgh

Answer:2) GPE=weight×height

Explanation:

It can also be calculated using the following:

GPE=w×h=m×g×h

GPE=mgh

**The meaning of the abbreviation and the units for the formula are as follows:

- m is mass and is measured in kilograms (kg)

- g is 9.8 meters per second squared (m/s2)
