Calculate gravitational potential energy using mass, gravity, and height (PE = mgh). Perfect for physics students.
Potential Energy Calculator is a free online tool that calculates gravitational potential energy using the formula PE = mgh. It allows you to input mass, height, and gravity values in various units and calculates the resulting potential energy. Perfect for physics students, engineers, and anyone working with energy calculations.
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses due to its position in a gravitational field. It depends on the object's mass, height above a reference point, and the gravitational acceleration.
The reference point is typically the ground level or the lowest point in the system. Height is measured from this reference point to the object's position.
The calculator supports multiple units for mass (kg, g, lb, oz), height (m, cm, km, ft, in, mi), and energy (J, kJ, cal, kcal, Wh, kWh). All conversions are handled automatically.
Yes, you can change the gravity value to match other celestial bodies. For example, use 1.62 m/s² for the Moon or 3.71 m/s² for Mars.
