Gravitational potential energy is calculate as the product mgh (mass x gravity x height). Note that there are other types of potential energy; they are calculated in a different way. But the calculations can all be derived from the definition of work.

If you multiply an objects weight by its height what value do it compute?
gravitational potential energy!!!!!!
What is the equation used to compute the velocity of a falling object using energy?
Calculate the initial potential energy (PE = mgh). Assume that all of this gets converted to kinetic energy, and solve for velocity (KE = 0.5 mv2).
What form of potential energy does a person blowing a vuvuzela have?
chemical potential energy
What is an energy form based on position above or below another point?
The form of energy that is stored in an object due to its position above or below another point is called potential energy. There are three types of potential energy which are the elastic, electric, and gravitational potential energy.
What are the two types of mechanical energy?
Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy

What are the two types of potential energy?
There is chemical potential energy, heat potential energy, elastic potential, and gravitational potential energy.

Potential energy and kinetic energy. mechanical energy is the energy of motion(kinetic energy)or the potential of motion(potential energy) so i would say-kinetic and potential energy
Why is potential energy called gravitational potential energy?
Potential energy and gravitational potential energy are different from each other ."Potential energy is the ability of a body to do work." Anddue_to_its_height.%22">"Gravitational potential energy is the ability of a body to do work due to its height."Gravitational potential energy is a type of potential energy.
Is energy potential energy or kinetic energy?
potential
Is energy at rest potential or kinetic energy?
a energy at rest is potential energy. because kinetic energy is a energy in motion.
What is energy that is waiting called?
The energy associated with energy is known as "energy".
What is the energy stored in an object that is not moving?
Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object, and can be changed into kinetic, or other forms of energy. There are many types, such as Elastic Potential Energy and Gravitational Potential Energy.
