A
gravitational potential energy(J) = mgh
mg=mass (kg)
g= strength of the Earth’s gravity (N/kg)
h= height (m)
3

Stationary objects
5
Q
What does GPE stand for?
A
Gravitational Potential Energy
6
Q
What is GPE?
A
The energy stored in an object due to its position above the Earth’s surface. This is due to the force of gravity acting on an object.
