Unlock the secrets of physics with our Height of an Object with GPE Calculator. This tool helps you effortlessly determine an object's vertical height when its Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE), mass, and gravitational acceleration are known. Ideal for students, educators, and professionals.
Formula:
The formula for Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) is:
GPE = m Ć g Ć h
Where:
- GPE = Gravitational Potential Energy (in Joules, J)
- m = mass of the object (in kilograms, kg)
- g = acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.81 m/sĀ² on Earth)
- h = height of the object (in meters, m)
To calculate the height (h), we rearrange the formula:
h = GPE / (m Ć g)
