Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)

• GPE

  The energy an object has due to its height in a gravitational field
• • If an object is lifted, it will gain GPE
  • If an object falls, it will lose GPE
• GPE formula

  GPE = M*G*H GPE= Gravitational Potential Energy (J)

  M= Mass (KG)

  G= Gravitational Field Strength (N/KG, always 10)

  H= Height (M)
