Key Stage 3

Meaning

The rock at the top of this stack has a large amount of energy in the gravitational potential energy store.

The gravitational potential energy store is the energy stored in an object that is in a gravitional field.

About The Gravitational Potential Energy Store

The stronger the gravitational field the more energy in the gravitational potential energy store.
The greater the mass of the object the more energy in the gravitational potential energy store.
The greater the height of the object the more energy in the gravitational potential energy store.
