Gravitational Potential Energy Powerpoint

This document provides information about gravitational potential energy including: - Objects that are higher above the ground have greater gravitational potential energy due to the stronger gravitational field strength. - The equation for calculating gravitational potential energy is: Ep = mgh, where m is mass, g is gravitational field strength, and h is height. - Worksheets and example problems are provided to help students practice calculating gravitational potential energy using the given equation.
