Potential Energy Calculator

Formula and Units

Gravitational potential energy is stored because an object is raised above a reference level.

Formula: PE = m x g x h. Mass converts to kg, gravity to m/s^2, and height to meters.

Understanding Potential Energy

1. What This Calculator Measures

Gravitational potential energy is stored because an object is raised above a reference level.

2. How the Calculation Works

Mass becomes kilograms, gravity becomes m/s^2, and height becomes meters before energy is calculated in joules.

3. Formula or Rule Used

PE = m x g x h.
