potential energy = mass x gravity x height.
Gravity is measured in units of acceleration.
Specifically in the case of SI units:
- Energy is measured in joule.
- Mass is measured in kilograms.
- Gravity is measured in meters/second2, or the equivalent newton/kilogram. The numeric value is approximately 9.8 in either case.
- Height is measured in meters.

What is the name of the unit that is used to measure potential energy?
The SI unit for energy is the joule. This applies to ANY type of energy.
What is the unit of energy used to measure mechanical energy?
by adding the objects kinetic energy and potential energy
What is the chemical formula for kilojoules?
Kilojoules (kJ) is unit of energy, not a compound.
Which unit of measure is used to indicate the Gibbs free energy change?
kJ
What units do you use to measure energy?
The SI unit of energy is the joule (J) Energy levels in atoms are sometimes measured in electron-volts (eV)
What is the si unit for potential energy difference?
Potential energy is measure in Joules (J). A Joule is a Newton*meter (N*m)
What is the name of the unit that is used to measure potential energy?
The SI unit for energy is the joule. This applies to ANY type of energy.
What is the unit of energy used to measure mechanical energy?
by adding the objects kinetic energy and potential energy
What is the formula to solve for gravitational potential energy?
Formula for Gravitational potential is - G M / r Here G is universal Gravitation constant, M - mass of the planet and r is the distance of the point from the centre of the planet. The unit is J/kg If potential energy is needed then the potential is to be multiplied by the mass m. So gravitational potential energy = - G M m / r So the unit would be J (joule)
Does a joule measure potential energy or kinetic energy?
Both a joule is a measurement unit of energy. Like centimeters measures both length and width joules are aunit to measure any type of energy
What is an example of a joule?
A joule is simply a unit to measure energy. Examples of energy include gravitational potential energy, kinetic energy, sound energy, light energy, elastic energy, nuclear energy.
What is the difference between electrical potential energy and potential difference?
Electric potential is the electric potential energy per unit coulomb. So unit for electric potential is J/C and that of electric potential energy is simply J
What is the formula of calculating GPE?
The correct formula for solving GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy) is as follows: ~GPE = wh ~Gravitational Potential Energy = weight of an object multiplied by height of an object ~The SI unit for this formula is *J* (Joules)
What is the unit for potential energy?
joules
In what unit is potential energy?
jolues
What is potential energy per unit charge?
The electric potential.
What is the unit for potential and kenetic energy?
The international unit for any type of energy is the joule.
