==================
Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position above Earth, energy due to its height. ... The equation for gravitational potential energy is GPE = mgh, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 on Earth), and h is the height above the ground in meters.
