What is the Potential Energy Calculator?

The Potential Energy Calculator helps you determine the gravitational potential energy of an object based on its mass, height, and gravitational acceleration. By entering the mass in kilograms, height in meters, and gravity in m/s² (or using the default Earth gravity of 9.8 m/s²), the calculator computes the potential energy in joules (J). This tool is useful for students, engineers, and physics enthusiasts who want a quick and accurate way to analyze energy in systems, making experiments, homework, and practical calculations easier and more reliable.

How to Use:

1. Enter Mass (m): Type the mass of the object in kilograms.
2. Enter Height (h): Input the height of the object in meters.
3. Enter Gravity (g): Type the gravitational acceleration in m/s², or leave it at the default 9.8 m/s² for Earth.
4. Click “Calculate”: The calculator will compute the potential energy using the formula PE=m×g×hPE = m \times g \times hPE=m×g×h.
5. Review the Result: The result box displays the potential energy in joules (J). Use this information to solve physics problems, plan experiments, or analyze energy in mechanical systems.
