Drive the expression for potential energy

Answer» IMAGE or here is SHORT derivationLet the work done on the OBJECT against gravity = W                Work done, W = force × displacement               Work done, W  = mg × H               Work done, W = mgh Since workdone on the object is equal to mgh, an energy equal  to mgh units is gained by the object . This is the potential energy (Ep) of the object.                               Ep = mgh
