Increase in Potential Energy Calculator, Formula, Increase in Potential Energy Calculation

Increase in Potential Energy Calculator:

Enter the values of mass m_(kg) , Acceleration of gravity g_(m/s²₎, Initial height H1_(m) & Final height H2_(m) to determine the value of Increase in Potential Energy dPE_(J) .

Increase in Potential Energy Formula:

The Increase in Potential Energy  dPE_(J)  In Joules  is equal to the Mass m_(kg)  in kilogram and multiply to the Acceleration of  gravity g_{(9.81 m/s}²₎  in meter per second square and again multiply the Final Height H2_(m) in meter and is subtraction by the Initial Height H2_(m) in meter.

The formula of Increase In potential Energy can be written as,

dPE_(J) = m_(kg) ∗ g_(m/s²₎ ∗ ( H2_(m) – H1_(m) )

Here,

dPE_(J) = Increase in Potential Energy in Joules

m_(kg) = mass in kilogram

g_(m/s²₎ = Acceleration of gravity in 9.81 meter per second square

H1_(m) = Initial height  in meter

H2_(m) = Final height in meter

Increase in Potential Energy Calculation:

1) Calculate the Increase in Potential Energy and given for the mass =3kg, gravity = 9.81 m/s² , Initial height H1 = 20m, and Final height H2 = 30m.

Answer

dPE = m ∗ g ∗ ( H2 − H1 )

dPE = 3 * 9.81 * ( 30 – 20 )

dPE = 294.3 Joules.

2) Calculate the mass and given for the Increase in Potential Energy = 294.3 Joules, gravity = 9.81 m/s² ,Initial height H1 = 20m,and Final height H2 = 30m.

Answer

dPE = m ∗ g ∗ ( H2 − H1 )

294.3 = m * 9.81 * (30 – 20)

m = 3kg.
