Question

Jacob is standing dangerously close to the edge of a cliff to take a selfie. Because he is so high up, he is storing a lot of potential energy. Which form of potential energy is acting on Jacob?

Answer 1

Answer: Gravitational potential energy

Explanation:

Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy a massive has on another heavy object due to gravity acting on both of them. It is also the energy stored in an object based on the position(mostly vertical) of the object.

Jacob's vertical standing position and the weight of the cliff shows they have potential energy.
