Potential Energy Calculator

Calculate gravitational potential energy from mass, height and gravity, or elastic potential energy from a spring constant and extension. Every formula can be rearranged for any of its values.

What you can do

  • Gravitational energy E = mgh, with gravity for each planet to choose from
  • Elastic energy E = ½kx²
  • Rearrange for mass, height, gravity, extension or spring constant
  • Speed an object reaches if it falls that height
  • Graphs of energy against height or extension
