Is potential energy theoretical?
Can you explain the concept of potential energy in more detail?
Sure. Potential energy is stored energy that an object has due to its position or configuration. For example, a ball placed at the top of a hill has potential energy because it has the potential to roll down the hill and do work. The amount of potential energy depends on the mass of the object, its height above a reference point, and the strength of the gravitational field it is in.
