Elastic potential energy is the amount of energy that is stored in a material that can be compressed.
One can measure the elastic potential energy in a material by the equation E = 1/2kx^2
k is the spring constant of an object. The spring constant tells you how stretchy (or elastic) a material is.
x is the distance that the object is stretched or compressed.
Gravitational energy is the potential energy between two masses with a gravitational field. Two masses will always have a gravitational pull towards each other so there is potential energy between two masses.
The gravitational energy between two objects can be modeled by the equation
E= Gm1m2 / r
G is the gravitational constant 6.67x10^-11 m^3/Kg.s^2
m1 and m2 represent the masses of the two objects
r is the distance between the two objects. The greater the distance between the two objects, the weaker the gravitational potential energy.

Elastic force is a force which you are acting on it while elastic potential energy is produced when the spring is being compressed or stretched
They are two types of potential energy.
potential energy is energy that has potential to be kinetic energy. ex gravitational, elastic
In apex, the answers for 2 potential energies, the answers are Elastic, and Magnetic energy.
The three forms of mechanical energy are kinetic energy, potential energy, and elastic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, potential energy is the energy that is stored in an object due to its position or condition, and elastic energy is the energy stored in elastic materials when they are stretched or compressed.

Gravitational potential energy, is the energy an object possesses by reason of its position in a gravitational field. While elastic potential energy, is the energy stored by a material or object as a result of deformation e.g. the energy stored in a bow when it is stretched.

They are all types of potential energy, that is, energy that is related to the position.
No. For example a falling stone is converting potential energy of gravitational attraction into kinetic energy, and there is no elastic energy.
