This video begins by introducing the three forms of potential energy (gravitational, electric and elastic). The formula Ep=mgh is derived by applying Newton’s second law (F=mg) and work done (w=Fs).  

This Catalyst article explores gravitational waves which have been observed for the first time, a century after they were first predicted by Albert Einstein.
