      Solution

      Concept:

      When a force is applied on an object which cause displacement along the direction of force then the work is said be done by that force.

      The work done by a force is defined as: The product of component of the applied force on the block in the direction of the displacement and the magnitude of this displacement is called work done.

      if work is done against the gravitational force the force acting can be given as mass times gravitational force whereas instead of distance, we can express it as height

      i.e., W = (mg)× h = mgh

      this expression is similar to potential energy for a system

      Here both force and displacement will be along the same direction since force is causing this displacement thus Work done is a scalar quantity.

      Here,

      Force applied on object = F

      Displacement of object = dx

      Distance travelled by an object = s

      The angle between Force and displacement = θ

      Explanation:

      From the above explanation, we can see that potential energy is the potential to do work and both work and potential energy has the same unit and dimension.

      Also, the total amount of work done by the system will directly depend on the amount of potential energy

      An object having the capability to do work is said to possess potential energy

      Extra point:

      The following table represents the quantity and its formula

      Quantity Formula Definition
      Inertia – a tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged.
      Force F = mass x acceleration A push or pull applied on an object of some mass which causes it to accelerate at the rate a
      Energy P.E = mgh, K.E = mv2/2 Energy is a conserved quantity which has a different form, but it is classified based on potential and kinetic energy
      Pressure P = F/A It is defined as the force applied per unit area
