Gravitational potential energy is calculated as mass x gravity x height.
The potential energy of a body of 1.0 kg mass 1.0 m above ground is 9.8 joules.
The potential energy of a 12.1 kg mass 17.1 m above the ground is 2,027.72 joules.
Formula for Gravitational potential is - G M / r Here G is universal Gravitation constant, M - mass of the planet and r is the distance of the point from the centre of the planet. The unit is J/kg If potential energy is needed then the potential is to be multiplied by the mass m. So gravitational potential energy = - G M m / r So the unit would be J (joule)
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
No. The equation for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, gis 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. Velocity is not a factor in determining potential energy.
The potential energy of a 12.1 kg mass 17.1 m above the ground is 2,027.72 joules.
The potential energy of a body of 1.0 kg mass 1.0 m above ground is 9.8 joules.
Potential Energy = mass * 9.80 m/s^2 * height PE = mgh

The formula for gravitational potential energy is: GPE = mgh Where m is the mass, g is gravity, and h is the height. Near Earth, gravity is approximately 9.8 m/sec2.

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
mass m and height h Potential Energy = mgh where g is acceleration of gravity
No. The equation for potential energy is PE = m•g•h, where m is mass in kg, gis 9.8m/s2, and h is height in meters. Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position. Velocity is not a factor in determining potential energy.
Gravitational potential energy equals mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s2), and h is height. Ug = mgh Solving for m: m = Ug/(gh) So, to find the mass, divide the gravitational potential energy by the quantity height times 9.81 m/s2 (make sure your units match up).
kinetic is related to movement.equation=1/2mv*v(m=mass,v=velocity) potential is related to position or shape and can be elastic potential energy or gravitational potential energy.equation=mgh (m=mass,g=acc. due to gravity,h=hight)
Potential Energy = m*g*h where m is the mass in grams, g is the acceleration of gravity in m/s^2, and h is the height in meters. Potential Energy is measured in Joules.
There are different sorts of potential energy but the most common in physics is gravitational potential energy. An object of mass m has a potential energy of mgh where g is gravity (9.81 in metric units) and h is the height above ground.
