Potential <strong>Energy</strong><br />

We can calculate GE p of an object using the equation below.<br />

E p = mgh<br />

Where:<br />

E p is the gravitational potential energy of the object (in joules)<br />

m is the object’s mass in kilograms<br />

g is the acceleration due to gravity (on earth 9.81m/s 2 )<br />

h is the object’s height above the ground (in meters)
