Diffence between gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy

Answered by admin @



Heya,
 The main difference between gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy is that the origin of gravitational potential energy is the gravitational forces acting between two massive bodies whereas the origin of elastic potential energy is the electrostatic forces between molecules that make up a material
