every particle want to reduce its potential energy.
so simplest example of this is a wooden piece. When we through it then it will always be going downward to the earth because it want to reduce its potential energy....

Gravitational energy Potential energy
a) gravitational potential energy, b) kinetic energy. I believe elastic energy would also be considered mechanical energy.
Potential energy is the "energy of position" - work done against a so-called "conservative force". Examples include a compressed spring, gravitational potential energy, chemical energy, nuclear energy.
Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position . Examples of potential energy are gravitational, chemical and electrical.
Any body which is not at the centre of mass of another larger body.
A ball, an apple and hail
A rock on a hill
Potential energy is when you do work against a conservative force. Examples are gravitational potential energy; the stored energy in a spring; chemical energy; and nuclear energy.
carrying water in a tub
One example is a backpack on your back.
unlit match a rock held in your hand.
