Would I be right in saying the following:
Potential energy arises from the conservation of energy. To lift a mass you must exert a force counteracting the force of gravity. As it moved and a force was exerted work was done on it. As it is not moving it has no kinetic energy. Due to the conservation of energy the energy cannot be destroyed so there must be a stored type of energy...Potential energy.
