Potential Energy Formula
Gravitational potential energy is determined by an object's mass, its height relative to a reference point, and the strength of the gravitational field.
$$ PE = m \times g \times h $$
- PE: Potential Energy (Joules)
- m: Mass (kg)
- g: Gravitational Acceleration (9.81 m/s² on Earth)
- h: Height (m)
