Gravitational Potential Energy Symbols and Equation
nΔPE=change in gravitational potential energy in Joules (J)
nm=mass in kilograms
(kg)
ng=acceleration due
to gravity in (m/s2)
nΔh=change in height in meters (m)
n
nEquation ΔPE=mgΔh
n***Gravitational
PE only changes if there is a change in vertical
position
