Potential energy = mgh (mass x gravity x height). It's all about storing energy that can turn into movement later!
It's the energy stored in an object because of its position relative to other objects. Think of it as the energy you build up when you stretch a rubber band!
Potential energy's like a treasure chest of energy waiting to be unleashed! It’s all about the position and state of stuff.
In a nutshell, it's the energy an object has because of where it is. Imagine a roller coaster at the top of a hill – it's ready to zoom down thanks to potential energy!
