Potential Energy Calculator

Stored energy.

How to use Potential Energy Calculator

  1. Mass: Weight of the object.
  2. Height: Vertical distance from the ground.
  3. Gravity: Standard Earth gravity (9.8 m/s²) is default.
  4. Calculate: Potential Energy in Joules.

About Potential Energy Calculator

The Potential Energy Calculator measures stored energy, specifically Gravitational Potential Energy. This is the energy an object has because of its height.

The higher you lift a rock, the more potential energy it gains (PE = mgh).
