Understand the concept of potential energy: Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration. It is not due to the object's motion, which is kinetic energy.
Identify the types of potential energy: Common types of potential energy include gravitational potential energy, elastic potential energy, and chemical potential energy.
Analyze the given options: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, not potential energy. Thermal energy is related to the temperature of an object and is not classified as potential energy. Electrical energy can be a form of potential energy when it is stored, such as in a battery.
Focus on gravitational potential energy: This is the energy stored in an object as a result of its vertical position or height. It is calculated using the formula: , where is mass, is the acceleration due to gravity, and is height.
Conclude with the correct answer: Gravitational potential energy is indeed a type of potential energy, as it is energy stored due to an object's position in a gravitational field.
