Best Answer

The force of gravity increases your potential energy as you increase your distance from the Earth's surface. Therefore, when you climb to the top of a diving board you have more potential energy due to gravity than you had on the ground.

What is the potential energy of a kg box on the ground?

The potential energy of the box on the ground is considered to be zero. Potential energy is the energy that is stored within an object due to its position or state. Since the box is already at ground level, it does not possess any potential energy.

How was potential energy created?

potential energy is not a substance. it is like if you fall out a window, your body has "potential energy" when you hit the ground that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.. hope this helps you understand...


Is anything that lifted off the ground has potential energy?

True. It has "potential energy", in that gravity could be used to convert that "potential" energy into actual kinetic energy.
