Potential Energy Formulas

Gravitational Potential Energy

PE = m × g × h

Where:

  • • PE = potential energy (J)
  • • m = mass (kg)
  • • g = 9.81 m/s² (Earth)
  • • h = height (m)

Elastic Potential Energy

PE = ½ × k × x²

Where:

  • • PE = potential energy (J)
  • • k = spring constant (N/m)
  • • x = displacement (m)
