Hello. The answer should be like this in below.


  • PE_(gravitational)=m.g.h

The variable "
m" represents the mass. It is a constant value for every substance and is assumed not to change over time.

The variable "
g" is the acceleration of gravity. It has a constant value and the numerical value of the gravitational constant for the planet we live on (Earth) is
9.81m/s^2.

The variable "
h" is the distance between sea level and the center of mass of the object. (Height) The unit is meter.
