Hi Abhinash,
An observable is an operator that corresponds to a physical quantity, such as energy, spin, or position, that can be measured.
Position x is operation
Momentum p is operator
Potential energy U(x) is operator
Total Energy (E) is operation
I am sorry I will not be able to use the differential symbols and notations. You can find your answers at:

Hope this helps!
