Gravitational energy is the potential energy associated with gravitational force. If an object falls from one point to another point inside a gravitational field, the force of gravity will do positive work on the object, and the gravitational potential energy will decrease by the same amount.

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.
How do you find the gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational Potential Energy is equal to Potential Energy therefore the formula for GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy) is PE=mass x gravity x height therefore the formula is PE=mgh
What is relevant to calculating gravitational potential energy?
The strength of the gravitational field.
How does a plane relate to gravitational potential energy?
A plane in the air posseses gravitational potential energy or stored energy. If the pilot shuts the engine off the plane releases that energy.
