Program to Calculate Potential Energy"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Hello coders, today we will learn <strong>how to calculate the potential energy of an object using C<\/strong> Programming language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Potential energy <\/strong>is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge or other factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The formula for potential energy depends on the force acting on the two objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Potential Energy or (P.E.) = m x g x\u00a0 h<\/strong> where,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>m<\/strong> is the <strong>mass<\/strong> in kilograms.<\/li><li><strong>g<\/strong> is the <strong>acceleration due to gravity<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li><li><strong>h<\/strong> is the <strong>height<\/strong> in meters.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This program uses the above formula to calculate potential energy of an object.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, without further ado, let\u2019s begin this tutorial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter
