Potential Energy Calculator — Calculate gravitational potential energy.
Inputs
Result
Enter values and press Calculate

How to use it

  1. Determine the mass
  2. Determine the height
  3. Use gravedad (9.81 m/s² in Tierra)
  4. Multiply the tr is values

Common mistakes

  • ⚠️ Not Convert height a meters
  • ⚠️ Use gravedad incorrecta
  • ⚠️ Confusing with energy cinética

Worked example

Calculate PE of 10kg at 5m height.

The energy powerl gravitatoria depends of the height and mass of the objeto.
