Gravitational potential energy

• An object that is held above the ground and has the potentials to fall due to gravity.
• The amount of gravitational force on an a object depends on its mass and its height above the ground.
• The following equation is used to calculate the GPE...

GPE= mgh

• GPE stands for gravitational potential energy, m stands for mass (kg), g stands for gravitational field strength (on Earth- 10N/kg), h stands for vertical height(m)
