Calculate gravitational potential energy

Answer 1

U = -GMm/R , where G is the gravitation constant, M is the mass of the attracting body, and r is the distance between their centers. And (-)ve sign indicates that it is against the gravity.

Note that P = mgh too!!

Answer 2

The formula is: PE = mgh (potential energy = mass x gravity x height). In SI units: mass should be in kilograms, gravity is about 9.8 (meters / second squared), and height should be in meters. In this case, the result will be in joules.

Answer 3

You just intergrate the gravitaional force equation with respect to r (radius) this is to the dude who wrote the first answer, people want the answer to that equation too

Answer 4

PE = mgh

potential energy = mass x gravity x height

Answer 5

wight x height
