How it's calculated
PE = m × g × h m = PE ÷ (g × h) h = PE ÷ (m × g)
Gravitational potential energy is the work done lifting a mass against gravity, measured from a reference height you choose (the floor, the ground, sea level). It holds near a planet’s surface, where g is nearly constant; Earth’s standard g is 9.80665 m/s².
