Enter any two of mass, height and gravitational potential energy (default g=9.8 m/s²) to compute the third.
Gravitational potential energy is expressed as E = m g h.
Near Earth, g is about 9.8 m/s². Larger mass or height yields more energy.
Use kg, m and J for consistent SI results.
When objects fall, potential energy can convert into kinetic and heat.
g varies with location and planet, so adjust when needed.
This page provides quick mutual calculations for learning and estimates.
E = m g h.
About 9.8 m/s².
It doubles.
It doubles.
Joule (J).
m = E / (g h).
h = E / (m g).
Mass or height is zero.
Mixed units produce incorrect results.
