Insert the information in the form and the calculator will determine the gravitational potential energy.


What is the gravitational potential energy?


Gravitational potential energy is the potential energy that a massive object has in relation to other massive object due to gravity.


How to calculate gravitational potential energy?


To calculate gravitational potential energy you should use the following formula:
U = (-G * m) / d
where:
U = gravitational energy
G = gravitational field
m = mass of the body
d = distance


Why use gravitational potential energy?


The gravitational potential energy is used in order to measure the potential energy that a massive object has in relation to other massive object due to gravity.
