How to Find the Gravitational Potential Energy
To find gravitational potential energy, just use the formula PE = mgh. Multiply the mass (m) by the gravitational acceleration (g, which is usually 9.8 m/s² on Earth) and the height (h) of the object above the ground.

You can calculate it by using PE = mgh. Just plug in your numbers for mass, gravitational acceleration, and height!
As someone who's done this in physics class: PE = mgh is your best friend. Remembering that g is roughly 9.8 m/s² on Earth will save you a headache.
Just use the formula PE = mgh. Simple as that. If you need the gravitational constant, it's 9.8 m/s² on our lovely planet Earth.
