This document discusses potential energy, which is the energy that objects possess due to their position or state of strain. Potential energy can be calculated using the formula U=Mgh, where U is potential energy, M is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height. Examples of potential energy from position include water stored in a dam and a mango on a tree. Examples of potential energy from strain include a wound watch spring, stretched rubber band, and compressed spring. Potential energy is stored when force is applied to wind up a toy car spring, which then provides motion to the toy car when released.

Objects posses energy by
their virtue of position or
strain is called potential

U= M g h
U- Potential energy
M-Mass
g- Acceleration due to
gravity
h- Height

5. Objects posses

10. Why do we wind the
spring in a toy car
The force applied to wind the
spring is stored as a potential
energy in the toy car. The
force give motion to the toy
car
