Identify the type of energy related to an object's position in a gravitational field. This is a form of potential energy.
Understand that potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration.
Recognize that gravitational potential energy specifically refers to the energy stored due to an object's position relative to a gravitational source, such as the Earth.
Recall that gravitational potential energy is calculated using the formula: , where is mass, is the acceleration due to gravity, and is the height above a reference point.
Conclude that the stored energy in an object due to its position in a gravitational field is called Gravitational Potential Energy.
