Because I'm a bit confused...
I know mechanical energy is potential energy and kinetic energy but I'm not sure of the exact definition of potential energy.
Is potential energy (the subset of mechanical energy) the following?
or is it just the following?

- Gravitational potential energy
- Elastic potential energy
- Chemical potential energy
