| potential energy |
The energy stored in a raised object (eg the weights in a grandfather clock). Potential energy equals mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration of gravity, and h is the vertical distance from a reference location. It is called potential energy because the energy can be regained when the object is lowered. This type of potential energy is sometimes called gravitational potential energy in order to distinguish it from elastic potential energy: see elastic energy.

| potential energy |
is the energy an object has by virtue of its position. The gravitational potential energy of an object of mass m that is a height h above some reference level is PE = mgh, where g is the acceleration of gravity. Since mg is the object's weight w, an alternative formula is PE = wh.
