	Imagine lifting a ball off of the ground and holding it in your hand. Energy is required to lift the ball, but after the ball stops moving, the energy used to lift it does not disappear. It has only been converted into [[gravitational potential energy]]. Dropping the ball will release the stored energy; as the ball falls, it transforms the potential to a kinetic form as it moves. When the ball hits the ground, the kinetic energy will be absorbed by the ground as [[heat]] or released as [[sound]] that you can hear.

	Imagine a ~~ball just above the surface of a planet, like Earth. Now imagine lifting the~~ ball off of the ground and holding it in your hand. Energy is required to lift the ball, but after the ball stops moving, the energy used to lift it does not disappear. It has only been converted into [[gravitational potential energy]]. Dropping the ball will release the stored energy; as the ball falls, it ~~regains this energy in~~ a kinetic form as it moves. When the ball hits the ground, the kinetic energy will be absorbed by the ground as [[heat]] or released as [[sound]] that you can hear.

	Likewise if a Slinky is stretched and let go, it will pull itself back to its original shape, that means that there's ~~the~~ potential for energy in the Slinky's shape. This is another form of potential energy called [[elastic potential energy]].
