Formula and methodology
Formula: PE = m * g * h with g = 9.80 m/s^2.
Lifting a mass against gravity stores energy proportional to height. Only height differences matter: the reference level is arbitrary, and heights below it give negative values.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Mass — kg; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000000
- Height above reference — m; Measured from your chosen zero level; below it is negative.; minimum -1000000; maximum 1000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Mass | 70 |
| Height above reference | 10 |
6860 J
Assumptions and limits
- g = 9.80 m/s^2 near Earth's surface; altitude or planetary variation is not modeled.
- Heights are small enough that g is effectively constant.
- SI units give joules.
