Explain the difference between potential energy, kinetic energy, and mechanical energy?

Potential Eenergy is  possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.  Mechanical energy is an energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position

Explanation:

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
