Potential Energy Calculator
Calculate gravitational potential energy using the formula $PE = m \cdot g \cdot h$.
Calculate Potential Energy
What is this tool?
This is a straightforward and intuitive Potential Energy Calculator. It’s designed for students, teachers, engineers, and physics enthusiasts who need to quickly compute gravitational potential energy. The tool is based on the fundamental physics formula:
$$PE=m \cdot g \cdot h$$
Where $PE$ is potential energy, $m$ is mass, $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity, and $h$ is height.
How to Use
- Enter the mass ($m$) of the object in kilograms (kg).
- Enter the height ($h$) in meters (m).
- Adjust the acceleration due to gravity ($g$) if needed. The default value is $9.81$ m/s².
- Click the “Calculate” button.
- Read the resulting potential energy value, displayed in Joules (J).
