Potential Energy vs Mass
Gravitational Potential Energy
Potential energy represents stored energy due to an object's position in a gravitational field.
Formula
PE = m * g * h
where m is mass, g is gravitational acceleration, and h is height above a reference point.
Example Calculation
A 10 kg object is raised 20 meters above the ground.
- 01PE = m * g * h
- 02PE = 10 * 9.81 * 20
- 03PE = 1962 J
- 04PE = 1.962 kJ
