2 type of potential energy

Step 1: Gravitational potential energy
The formula for gravitational potential energy $U_g$ is
$U_g = m g h$
where $m$ = mass (kg), $g = 9.8$ m/s$^2$ (acceleration due to gravity), $h$ = height (m).
Units: kg $\cdot$ m/s$^2$ $\cdot$ m = joules (J).

Step 2: Elastic potential energy
The formula for elastic potential energy $U_e$ (e.g., in a spring) is
$U_e = \frac{1}{2} k x^2$
where $k$ = spring constant (N/m), $x$ = displacement from equilibrium (m).
Units: (N/m) $\cdot$ m$^2$ = joules (J).

The two types of potential energy are gravitational and elastic.
