Potential Energy

Calculates gravitational potential energy Ep = mgh from mass, g, and height.

Potential energy

6 867,00 J

Formula

E_p = m g h (J)

Example: 70 kg, g = 9.81, h = 10 m → E_p = 6,867 J

Methodology

Gravitational potential energy Ep = mgh (g ≈ 9.81 m/s²).

Example

2 kg at height 5 m → Ep ≈ 98 J.
