Gravitational Potential Energy Calculator
Calculate gravitational potential energy by multiplying mass, gravitational acceleration, and height.
CalcSimpler Examples
- 10 kg at 5 m ⇒ 490.5 J
- 2 kg at 2 m ⇒ 39.24 J
FAQ
Can I use gravity of other planets?
Yes, change the gravity input to match the planet.
Does mass include Earth's gravity?
Mass is independent of gravity; weight changes with gravity.
Is air resistance considered?
No, this formula ignores air resistance and other forces.
Additional Information
- Potential energy is stored energy due to position.
- Measured in joules, the same unit as work.
