Gravitational Potential Energy Calculator

Gravitational Potential Energy Calculator

Calculate the gravitational potential energy using the equation:
\[ U = m\,g\,h \] where \( m \) is the mass (kg), \( g \) is the gravitational acceleration (m/s²), and \( h \) is the height (m).

* Enter all values in SI units.

Step 1: Enter Parameters

Example: 10 kg

Example: 9.81 m/s²

Example: 5 m

Formula: \( U = m\,g\,h \)


Practical Example:
For a mass of 10 kg, gravitational acceleration of 9.81 m/s², and a height of 5 m:
\[ U = 10 \times 9.81 \times 5 \approx 490.5\, \text{J} \]
