When calculating gravitational potential energy you must use?
the distance between the object and the center of the Earth
Calculating gravitational potential energy you must use?
PE = mgh, that is, mass x gravity x height.
What is the equation for calculating an object's gravitational potential energy?
The equation to calculate an object's gravitation potential energy is: PE=MGH where: PE is gravitational potential energy M is the objects mass G is the acceleration due to the gravitational pull of the Earth on its surface ( 9.8 m/s2) H is the height from the location that would give it zero potentional energy (generally the ground)
Relationship between gravitational and potential energy?
Gravitational + Potential = 100 If you have 67 J of potential energy your gravitational energy would be 33 J.
How is gravitational potential energy different from potential energy?
It is different because gravitational potential energy is when something is getting pulled by gravity and potential energy is stored energy which means that it is not moving and the energy is not getting released as gravitational energy is.
