2.2 POTENTIAL ENERGY 

Potential means it hasn't happened yet-but it CAN.                                     Potential energy increases as the height/distance increases. 

The formula for finding potential energy is as follows:

Ep(grav)=mgh                                                                                                 m:mass (kg)                                                                                                 g:acceleration of gravity (in Alberta, it is 9.81 m/s)                                       h:height or distance (m)
