What type of energy does an object have when it is raised to a certain height and how is it calculated?

  • 1

An object raised to a certain height possesses gravitational potential energy. This energy is given by the formula:

PE = mgh

where m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and
ℎ is the height above the reference point. This energy gives the object the capability to do work when it falls.
