Potential energy = mass * gravity * height
Ep=mgh
You should know the mass of the object and gravity as 9.81.
So rearranging the formule Ep/mg=h.
Potential energy / (mass * gravity) = height.

∙ 11y agoGravitational PE = m x g x h, where m is mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. To use this equation to find mass, manipulate it so that m = PE/(g x h) .

∙ 11y agoPE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, g is 9.8m/s2, and h is height.
To solve for g, divide PE by m•h.
g = PE/(m•h)
If all is done correctly, g should be 9.8m/s2, as it is the acceleration due to gravity.

∙ 11y agoThe formula for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, g is acceleration due to gravity, 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. This means that PE is directly proportional to mass, acceleration due to gravity, and height. Therefore, if height increases, the potential energy increases.

Heigher it is more gravitation force is inflicted on the object,so it'll accelerate

What happens to the potential energy as the kinetic of an object increase?
An object's potential energy doesn't depend on its speed. You can do anything you like with the object's speed, and it has no effect on potential energy.
Is kinetic energy the same as static energy?
No, Potential Energy is the energy of an object that has the potential to move while kinetic energy is the energy of an object at motion. Potential energy is defined by Mass * Gravity(9.81ms-2) * height(In meters) Kinetic energy is defined by (1/2)*Mass*Velocity2
What kind of energy is stored energy?
This is called potential energy, because it is available when required
A object has one joule of potential energy explain what does it means?
We know that energy is defined as the ability to do work.So an object has one joule of potential energy means that the body has capability to do a work of one joule. We may say that the object with 1 joule of potential energy is the force field and our work is stored in displacing the object against the field
Describe the change in kinetic energy when the temperature of an object increases?
The more an objects kinetic energy increases the more it's temperature increases. An object that is traveling at 30 miles per hour will have a higher temperature than an object traveling at 10 miles per hour. This is in part due to friction. Mostly however, it is due to the fact that kinetic energy excites atoms in the object raising the objects temperature. You could put it like this: temperature = energy + atoms. Hope this helps.
Energy at a height is called what?
Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.Energy related to the height of an object is gravitational potential energy.
How would doubling the height of an object change the object's potential energy?
Also double since potential energy is the energy stored in a body due it's position.
What is the change when an object is pushed along an inclined plane to a height?
The object's height and gravitational potential energy both increase.
How does height effect the potential energy of an object?
the higher an object is the more potential energy it has
What would have the most potential energy?
Potential energy is the amount of energy stored in an object due to its height. This is maximum for an object which has maximum height and vice versa. So the most potential energy would be for object with greatest height.
How is the height of an object related to its potential energy?
The formula for potential energy is: G.P.E. (gravitational potential energy) = Weight x Height
What energy does an object have due to its height?
Potential Energy
How does height affect the amount of potential energy of an object?
.potential energy equalls mgh, where m is mass of object, g is gravity, h is height of the object placed from the ground level. . When height increases potential energy also increases..
What is the person's potential energy at this height?
Not sure what you mean by "this height". An object's potential energy is equal to:gravitational potential energy = mass x gravity x height
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is?
Energy which is a result of an object's height above the earth is potential energy.
What formula do you use to determine the Gravitational potential energy of an object?
Gravitational potential energy = (weight of the object) x (height) or Potential energy = (mass) x (acceleration of gravity) x (height)
The energy an object has because of its position is called?
potential energy it is directly proportional to height of object above ground
