Potential energy is energy which depends on mutual positions of bodies. The energy is defined as a work against a specific force such as gravity, an elastic force of a spring in a clockwork motor, electric force, etc (and is usually named after that specific force).

The same as of a stationary one at the same place, and depends on the fields (gravitational or otherwise) to which it is subjected. The moving body's kinetic energy is 1/2 m v squared.

potential energy in a body is the energy possesedby a body to remain in its steady state. when set in motion its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Its location at any given time detrmines the potential energy. Moving can icrease or decrease and doesnt chage depending upon how it moves
