Define elastic potential energy and gravitional potential energy?

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.


Is it possible to have more kinetic energy than potential energy?

No, because potential energy is the amount of energy that COULD be used, while kinetic energy is the amount of energy that IS being used.
