What is the difference between “Gravitational potential energy" and "Elastic potential energy"?
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY | ELASTIC POTENTIAL ENERGY |
Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy due to the position of the body above the ground. | Elastic potential energy is the potential energy due to change in the shape and size of the body. |
Storing of water in the overhead tank is an example of gravitational potential energy | Stretching of a rubber band is an example of elastic potential energy |
