This potential energy reference table shows the gravitational potential energy for a range of mass values, assuming a height of 5 m and a gravity (g) of 9.8 m/s². Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Potential Energy Calculator, so the numbers are exact.

How to use this table
Find the row closest to your mass and read across to the gravitational potential energy. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Potential Energy Calculator for a precise answer.
Need a value that is not in the table? — the Potential Energy Calculator does it instantly, for free, with the formula and a worked example built in.
