According to one website I visited, the formula is:
PE (subscript, gravitational) = weight x height = mph
The website where I found this has calculator tools and the formulas.

Does speed affect gravitational potential energy of an object?
Does speed 'effect' the gravitational potential energy of an object? No, but gravitational potential energy can be converted into kinetic energy - so the gravitational potential energy can effect the speed. Ep = mgh Energy Potential = mass * 9.81 (gravity) * height Speed / Velocity is absent from that equation.
What is potential energy called that depends on height?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
What is the type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from earths surface?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
The energy of position such as a rock on a hill is what energy?
Gravitational energy 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.
What is the difference between gravitational potential and elastic potential energy?
Elastic potential energy is the amount of energy that is stored in a material that can be compressed. One can measure the elastic potential energy in a material by the equation E = 1/2kx^2 k is the spring constant of an object. The spring constant tells you how stretchy (or elastic) a material is. x is the distance that the object is stretched or compressed. Gravitational energy is the potential energy between two masses with a gravitational field. Two masses will always have a gravitational pull towards each other so there is potential energy between two masses. The gravitational energy between two objects can be modeled by the equation E= Gm1m2 / r G is the gravitational constant 6.67x10^-11 m^3/Kg.s^2 m1 and m2 represent the masses of the two objects r is the distance between the two objects. The greater the distance between the two objects, the weaker the gravitational potential energy.

The equation for gravitational potential energy is what?
EP = -mGM/r
What is gravitational potential energy related to?
The distance from the object providing a gravitational force.
What is equation potential?
Potential energy = mass x gravitational acceleration x height
What is potential energy dependent an object's weight and distance from earth's surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
What is potential energy dependent upon an objects weight and distance from earths surface?
Gravitational potential energy.
What 2 factors determine gravitational potential energy?
Mass and distance
What is the equation for calculating an object's gravitational potential energy?
The equation to calculate an object's gravitation potential energy is: PE=MGH where: PE is gravitational potential energy M is the objects mass G is the acceleration due to the gravitational pull of the Earth on its surface ( 9.8 m/s2) H is the height from the location that would give it zero potentional energy (generally the ground)
What is potential energy called that depends on height?
Gravitational potential energy - it depends on the distance from the centre of gravity, so on Earth it depends on the height above the Earth's surface
What is the gravitational potential energy equation?
Gravitational potential energy = Mass x gravity x heightTherefore, an object at ground level is 0 meters above the ground, thus having no potential energy.PE = mghm = massg = gravitational accelerationh = height
The type of potential energy dependent upon an object's weight and distance from Earth's surface?
gravitational potential energy
