Calculate potential energy

About Potential Energy

Calculate gravitational potential energy based on mass, height, and gravity.

How to Use:

  1. Enter object mass in kilograms
  2. Enter height in meters
  3. Get potential energy in Joules

Formula Used:

PE = mass × gravity × height (g = 9.81 m/s²)

Examples:

  • 5kg object at 10m height → PE = 490.5 Joules

Common Use Cases:

  • Physics problems
  • Engineering calculations
  • Energy analysis
  • Safety planning
  • Mechanical design
