Physics
Kinetic and Potential Energy Calculator
Compute total mechanical energy E = ½mv² + mgh from an object's mass, velocity, and height — combining kinetic energy from motion and gravitational potential energy from elevation. Useful for conservation-of-energy problems in physics, engineering, and any system where energy converts between motion and position.

Physics
Gravitational Potential Energy Calculator
Calculate gravitational potential energy GPE = mgh stored in an object at a given height above a reference level. Useful for energy-conservation problems, hydroelectric and roller-coaster design, and any analysis where elevation translates into stored energy.
