Types of potential energy:
-Chemical potential energy
-Gravitational potential energy
-Elastic potential energy

  • Chemical potential energy is stored energy from chemicals.

  • Gravitational potential energy is present when energy and an object has due to its position or location.

  • Elastic potential energy is an energy an object has when it is stretched or compressed.
