Pushes and pulls that result from objects that are physically touching
each other

That is false. Take a look at this way. You can push a ball with your own breath, you just need to blow it. And you can pull something from afar with a magnet. It is possible to do both.

Explanation:

Not all physical things can be done only physically. Like I just said, it is possible to use other forces (no, not the dark side one),  such as a magnetic force, displayed by a magnet or anything with a force like so.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh

where… mass: measured in kilograms (kg)

gravity: gravity constant on earth = 10.00 m/s2

height: measured in meters (m)

gpe: measured in joules (j) or kilojoules (kj)

how do you solve gpe?

gravitational potential energy (gpe) is the energy an object has because of its position above the. ground.

gpe = mass x gravity constant x height or… gpe = mgh.
