Potential energy is the energy possessed by a object in a position. An object can store energy as a result of it position. An example is having a ball held upward by a pavement. The stored energy by the ball is known as the potential energy.
Since the object is suspended upward with a height of 25 meters , gravity is involved. Gravitational potentialenergy is the energy stored by an object as a result of it height. Gravitational potential energy is dependent by the height which the object is raised and the mass. The higher the height of an object is raised the greater the gravitational potential energy.
The formula for gravitational potential energy is as follows ;
P.E = mass × height × gravitational field strength(9.8N/kg)
