Potential Energy Calculation

Potential Energy
Potential Energyis the energy of a particle or system of particles derived from position, or condition, rather than motion.
Formula:
Potential Energy KE = m x g x h Joule
where m = Mass, g = Acceleration of Gravity(9.8 m/s/s), h = Height.

Potential Energy Example:	Height Example:	Mass Example:	Gravity of a Body Example
A 15 kg parachute flying at a height of 20000 meters from Ground.Calculate it's Potential Energy. m = 15 kg, h = 20000 m	A 7 kg ball bounce with a potential energy of 23 joule, calculate its height. PE = 23 J, m = 7 kg	A kite with 20.5 J Potential Energy fly at a height of 100 m, Calculate its mass. PE = 20.5 J, h = 100 m	A 0.5 kg mango fall from a 10 m height tree with a potenetial Energy of 50 J, Calculate it's Gravity. PE = 50 J, m = 0.5 Kg, h = 10 m
PE =mxgxh	h = PE/(m x g) m	Mass m = PE/( g x h)	g = PE/(m x h)
PE =15 x 9.8 x 20000	h = 23/(7 x 9.8)	m = 20.5/( 9.8 x 100 )	g = 50/(0.5 x 10)
PE = 2940000 Joules	h = 23/68.6 h = 0.34 m	m = 20.5/980 m = 0.02 Kg	g = 50/5 g = 10 m/s²
