To calculate the gravitational PE, you also need the height. PE = mgh (mass x gravity x height); convert the mass to kg. (3 mg = 0.000 003 kg); use 9.82 for gravity; and convert the height to meters. The result will be in Joule.

What does gravitational potential energy depend on of the object?
Mass, Height, and Gravity Gravitational Potential Energy= Mass * gravity * height
Does an object have more potential energy the more mass it has?
Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.Yes - gravitational potential energy is equal to mass x gravity x height.
Will mass affect the amount of gravitational potential energy?
Yes. Mass is one of the variables (mass, gravity and height) for which gravitational potential energy is the product (meaning the multiplication of), so increasing mass will increase the gravitational potential energy in direct proportion.
What is difference between gravitational potential energy and gravitational potential?
A body A of mass m is placed in the gravitational field of a body B of mass M. The gravitational potential of body B at a point in the field is the work done is bringing unit mass from infinity to that point and is independent of body A. On the other hand, the gravitational potential energy of body A is the energy possessed by it due to its position in the field. In fact, Gravitational potential energy = mass of body(A) x gravitational potential
What happens to the potential energy of an object if the mass is halved?
I assume you mean the gravitational potential energy. This is proportional to the mass, so if you change the mass by a factor of "a", the gravitational potential energy will change by the same factor of "a".
How do the mass and height of an object affect the gravitational potential energy?
Apex Mass and height have the same effect on gravitational potential energy.
What energy is calculated from an object and mass height and the acceleration due to gravity?
That is called gravitational potential energy.
Potential energy of the mass m?
Gravitational potential energy is calculated as mass x gravity x height.
How does mass affect gravitational potential energy?
the formula for gravitational potential energy if mgh(mass X gravity X height). gravity is always 9.81m/s2. assume height is constant, more mass means more gravitational potential energy and vice versa
How do you find the gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational Potential Energy is equal to Potential Energy therefore the formula for GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy) is PE=mass x gravity x height therefore the formula is PE=mgh
What type of energy increases with its height?
gravitational potential energy
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.
