ENERGY FORMULAS

KINETIC ENERGY
KE = ½mv²
Mass in kg, speed in m/s.
GPE
GPE = mgh
Mass × gravity × height.
UNITS
Energy is measured in joules.
1 J = 1 kg m²/s²
GRAVITY
Use g = 9.8 m/s² unless your course says use 10.

WORKED EXAMPLES

KE EXAMPLE
m = 2 kg, v = 6 m/s
KE = ½ × 2 × 6²
Answer: 36 J
GPE EXAMPLE
m = 3 kg, g = 9.8, h = 5 m
GPE = 3 × 9.8 × 5
Answer: 147 J
COMMON ERROR
For KE, square the speed before multiplying.
CHECK
Doubling speed makes KE four times bigger.

WHAT THIS TOOL DOES

This energy calculator finds kinetic energy or gravitational potential energy.

It uses KE = ½mv² for moving objects and GPE = mgh for objects raised above a height.

The working panel shows the formula, substituted values and final rounded answer in joules.

Canonical folder: /energy-calculator/

HOW TO USE IT

Choose kinetic energy or gravitational potential energy on Page 1.

For KE, enter mass and speed. For GPE, enter mass, height and gravity.

Press SOLVE to calculate the answer and show the working.

Use EXAMPLE to restore the sample values, or CLEAR to reset the tool.

UNIT SAFETY

Use kilograms for mass, metres per second for speed and metres for height.

For GPE, gravity should be in m/s². Many GCSE questions use 9.8 or 10.

Energy is shown in joules when all input units are consistent.

For kinetic energy, remember that speed is squared before multiplying.

WHO USES IT

Students use this page for GCSE physics, combined science and mechanics homework.

Teachers and tutors can use it to show formula substitution and unit-safe working.

It is useful for energy stores, moving objects, falling objects and raised objects.

The calculator stays on Page 1 so the working tool is always quick to reach.

COMMON SEARCHES

People may search for energy calculator, kinetic energy calculator, GPE calculator or gravitational potential energy calculator.

Other searches include KE equals half m v squared, GPE equals mgh, and energy formula with working.

This page supports those searches with a working calculator, formula help and readable internal pages.

GCSE HOMEWORK HELP

GCSE users may search for physics energy calculator, kinetic energy GCSE or potential energy formula help.

Homework searches may ask how to calculate joules from mass and speed, or how to calculate energy from height.

The calculator answers these tasks by showing the formula, substituted values and rounded final result.

FAQ: FORMULA

What is KE? Kinetic energy is energy stored by a moving object.

What is GPE? Gravitational potential energy is energy from height.

What unit is energy? Energy is measured in joules, written J.

What value for g? Use 9.8 m/s² unless your course asks for 10.

FAQ: ANSWERS

Why is my KE answer wrong? Check that speed is squared before multiplying.

Can I use decimals? Yes. Decimal mass, speed, height and gravity values are supported.

Does rounding affect working? Rounding is applied only to the final displayed answer.

Can it rearrange formulas? This page calculates energy from the direct KE and GPE formulas.

SEARCH INTENT COVERAGE

This page is designed for users who need a fast answer, a visible formula and clear working.

It covers calculation intent, revision intent, homework intent and formula substitution intent.

The support text is split across full-size reading panels instead of compressed SEO boxes.

PRACTICAL USE CASES

Use kinetic energy to compare moving objects with different masses and speeds.

Use gravitational potential energy to calculate energy gained when an object is lifted.

For exam answers, write the formula, substitute the values, calculate, then add joules.
