There are two kinds of potential energy: Gravitational Potential Energy and Elastic Potential Energy. Their formula's are:

* Gravitational Potential Energy:

Ep = m x g x h

Ep = mass x gravity x height

* Elastic Potential Energy:

Ep = 1/2 x k x x^2

Ep = 0.5 x elastic constant x extention or compression squared

What is the equation for gravitional potiential energy?

Assuming the force of gravity doesn't change much - for example, close to Earth's surface: GPE = mgh That is, gravitational potential energy is the product of mass, gravity and height. Close to Earth, a value of about 9.8 meters/square second is usually used for gravity. If you also measure mass in kilograms and height in meters, energy will be in joules.
