Gravitational Potential Energy

Also known as: PE Formula, GPE Formula

PE = mgh

PE = m × g × h

What It Calculates

The energy stored in an object due to its height above a reference point in a gravitational field.

Symbol	Name	Unit	Description
PE	Potential Energy	J (Joules)	Energy stored due to position/height
m	Mass	kg	Mass of the object
g	Gravitational Acceleration	m/s²	9.81 m/s² on Earth
h	Height	m	Height above reference point

1PE = 5 × 9.81 × 10 = 490.5 J

Result: 490.5 J

KE = ½mv²

W = F × d × cos(θ)
