Verified by Experts

(a) U=mgh
`U-"Gravitational potential energy"`
`m-"Mass of the object, g-acceleration due to gravity"`
`h-"Height from the ground"`,
(b) `u=1/2Kx^(2)`
u-Elastic potentail energy
` k-"String constant", x-"displacement`.
`U=1/(4piepsilon_(0)).(q_(1)q_(2))/r`
U-electrostatic potential energy
`epsilon_(0)-"absolute permittivity"`
`q_(1)q_(2)-"electric charges"`
`r-"distance between charges"`.
