When an object is lifted where does the potential energy come from?

Elastic potential energy can be found when you are stretching a spring. Any kind of elastic energy can be found when you are stretching or compressing an object.

that the lifted object stores as gravitational potential energy.

Can an object gain more energy?
Sure, you can add energy to an object. For example, you can heat an object up (to have it gain heat energy), you can raise it (to have it gain gravitational potential energy), or you can make it move (to have it gain kinetic energy). In each case, the energy has to come from somewhere.
What are the two basic types of energy?
There are two main types of energy which is kinetic and potential energy.. Kinetic energy is an energy associated with motion.. while the potential energy is an energy stored with the position of an object, or its chemical composition.
Where does the potential energy come from?
you can do it by your self
Is elastic spring force a push or pull?
A spring can be both a potential or a kinetic force. When pulled it contains potential force. When it forces an object upwards it contains kinetic energy. The same as if it forces an object to come down i.e return to its natural position. A spring is often referred to as a Helix.
What happens to potential energy when charges move?
Then kinetic energy come and takes its place.

As you say the black holes rotate in spirlish motion where does the energy for spirlish motion come from.?
As the gravitational potential is converted into kinetic energy by the object falling down the energy gradient.

Can an object have no either potential energy and kinetic energy?
Yes. Potential energy is energy that has not yet been released. Kinetic energy is energy or an object already in motion.Think of a ball 1 mile up in the air that begins to fall. After it has fallen 10 feet, releasing some, but not all of its potential energy, it has built up some kenetic energy as well from the motion of falling 10 feet, but still has 5270 feet worth of potential energy to go. What happens as the ball falls is that it gradually changes all of its potential energy into kinetic energy.co
How would you categorize the energy found in the food eat kinetic or potential?
Potential Energy is energy that could come from something that if it were to fall (say, from gravity) the kinetic energy gained from that fall would be equal to that. Other forms could be elastic potential energy, chemical potential energy, electrical potential energy (eventually becomes voltage), and etc. Kinetic energy is of an object that is moving (because I assume we're talking of Newtonain motion).
Where does the energy of fossil fuels come from?
potential
What are the two factors that determine gravitational potential energy?
The two variables that determine gravitational potential energy are height above earths surface mass (also air resistance may come into play but in physics friction and air resistance are usually ignored and)
Where does the heat energy come from?
from steam produced by earth
How do gravity and potential energy work together to give you a great ride on a roller coaster?
the gravitational potential energy of a roller coaster is equal to two things. Not only is it equal to the gravitational potential energy, it is also equal to the kinetic energy at the lowest point of the coaster. the gravitational potential energy can be calculated as: m*g*h where m is mass (kilograms), g is gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is height (metres).d the kinetic energy at the bottom of the coaster can be calculated as (m*v^2)/2 where m is mass (kilograms), v is velocity (metres/second).

Energy transformation when dropping a yoyo?
Potential - Kinetic - Potiential again as you drop the yo yo, the potential energy it had at its height is converted to kinetic energy. as it starts to come back up, it is converted back to potential energy
