Any body which is not at the centre of mass of another larger body.
The two measurements that make up potential energy is ......"..."...."................. POSITION &CONFIGURATION
This is called gravitational potention energy and is represented by PE in the formula PE=mgh (mass times acceleration due to gravity times height).
potential energy is an easy energy... just like kenetiic and activation energy some examples of potention energy is a person on top of a hill standing, getting ready to ski.... they have potential energy as they are not moving but are gettting ready to be involved with kenetic energy. also a match getting started...is potentiaal 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 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.

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.
