Is the energy that a body possesses by virtue of its position and that is potentially transformable into another form of energy.

The energy stored by matter as a result of its location or spatial arrangement.

energy an object possesses by virtue of its position. For example, lifting a mass mby h meters increases its potential energy by mgh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

The energy that a body possesses by virtue of its position with respect to other bodies in the field of gravity.

force or power of an object as a result of its position in an electric, magnetic, or gravitational field.

The energy of an object owing to its position in a force field or its internal condition, as opposed to kinetic energy, which depends on its motion. Examples of objects with potential energy include a [..]

The stored energy of a substance. Water has a lot of this if there is an elevation difference. Potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy if the water (or other substance) is allowed to move.

Potential energy is that energy which an object has because of its position. It is called potential energy because it has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic ener [..]

  Amount of useable energy within a body at rest.

The energy possessed by an object because of its position (for instance with regards to gravitational force or in an electric field), or its condition (for instance a stretched rubber band)

stored energy, ready for use

The stored energy of a body because of its position.

The energy a body possesses because of its position in a force field.

energy an object has because of its position, shape or condition; stored  energy.  power -

The energy of a particle or system of particles derived from position, or condition, rather than motion. A raised weight, coiled spring, or charged battery has potential energy.

Energy that is the result of the position of an object. potential gradient. The change in potential per unit distance.

Potential energy means stored energy. Some examples are chemical, elastic, nuclear and gravitational - all forms of potential energy.

TR, EM, SP Potential energy means stored energy. Some examples are chemical, elastic, nuclear and gravitational - all forms of potential energy. For Standard grade, you should know the formula for gr [..]

the energy of an object due to its position

the energy possessed by an object because of its position (in a gravitational or electric field), or its condition (as a stretched or compressed spring, as a chemical reactant, or by having rest mass)

The energy between two objects due to their position relative to each other (Lessons 17, 19, 23)

The energy

Energy that is stored in an object. Fossil fuels, for example, have potential energy that is released when burned. A rock sitting at the top of a hill has potential energy that is released when it rol [..]

Universal concept of energy stored by virtue of position in a field, without any observable change, e.g. after a mass has been raised against the pull of gravity.

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its being elevated above a certain datum.  It is expressed analytically as.  P.E. = Mgh

Potential energy is stored energy. For example, when you hold down a spring it contains potential energy before you release it.

Energy contained in an object or physical system that has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy. All objects on Earth possess gravitational potential energy, which causes them to move towa [..]

In mechanics, energy of position. A body has potential energy because of its position relative to another location. For example, a rock on the edge of a cliff has potential energy relative to the ground at the cliff’s base.

The energy an object has because of its composition or position.

Energy which something has but which is not being used, such as a motionless rock at the top of a cliff.

Energy stored in the set-up of a mechanical system--e.g. by a weight able to descend (in the presence of gravity), or by a compressed spring.

Potential energy ${{E}_{pot}}$ is the energy content resulting from the height displacement h of a body with a mass m. When displaced against gravitational acceleration, the energy content is regarded [..]

energy that an object (or piece of matter) has because of its position, or an arrangement of its parts (for example chemical bonds.) A rock at the top of a hill has potential energy. Also see kinetic energy.

The energy of a particle or system of particles derived from position, or condition, rather than motion. A raised weight, coiled spring, or charged battery has potential energy.

A unit of mass equal to 0.45359237 kilograms. Also called AVOIRDUPOIS POUND.

Stored energy.

The energy stored in a raised object (e.g. 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 someti [..]

The energy of an object owing to its position in a force field or its internal condition, as opposed to kinetic energy, which depends on its motion. Examples of objects with potential energy include a diver on a diving board and a coiled spring.

The energy stored in a body or a system.

Energy derived from position rather than motion, with respect to a specified datum in a field of force.

Energy caused by the position of one body with respect to another body or to the relative parts of the same body. Potentiometer Potentiometer. A variable resistor, used as a volume control or a positi [..]

The energy, that a body has by virtue of its position or state, enabling it to do work. (Water in a reservoir has potential energy by virtue of its elevation above some other point.)

Energy which a body possesses by virtue of its position. The potential energy of water in a reservoir is usually measured with respect to sea level.

the energy possessed by an object because of its position (in a gravitational or electric field), or its condition (as a stretched or compressed spring, as a chemical reactant, or by having rest mas [..]

The stored ability to perform work, capable of being transformed into electromagnetic or kinetic energies. Potential energy is associated with gravity, chemicals, compressed gases, electrical potential, magnetism, and the nuclear structure of matter.
