height gravitational acceleration and mass
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 when you do work against a conservative force. Examples are gravitational potential energy; the stored energy in a spring; chemical energy; and nuclear energy.

One example is a backpack on your back.
