How the Calculator Works

The calculator uses the gravitational potential energy formula:

Potential Energy (PE) = Mass × Gravity × Height
  

Potential energy is measured in **joules (J)**. Gravity defaults to **9.8 m/s²**, but you can change it for other planets.

Example

Mass = 6 kg  
Height = 3 m  
Gravity = 9.8 m/s²  

Possible Output:
Potential Energy = 176.4 J
