Answer:

The energy possessed by a body as a result of its position or condition rather than its motion.

Simplified, this formula can be written as: Potential Energy = mgh, where m is the mass, measured in kilograms; g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2 at the surface of the Earth); and h is the height, measured in meters.

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Change/ Potential

Explanation:

Work is the amount of energy required to perform an action that is for a force to cause a displacement.

From work-energy theorem, work done by body is equal to change in its kinetic energy.

Work of gravity is basically the potential energy stored in the body due to gravity. From the law of conservation of mechanical energy, increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy of the stone.
