You can calculate potential energy using the formula PE = mgh. That's mass (m) times gravitational acceleration (g) times height (h). Easy peasy!

mgh, that's it. Mass times gravity times height.

For gravitational potential energy, just use PE = mgh. Plug in the mass, gravity (usually 9.8 m/s虏 on Earth), and height. Boom, potential energy!

It's PE = mgh. Trust me, I've calculated it so many times during high school physics.

Potential energy? Simple. Just multiply the mass, gravity, and height together!
