calculate_potential_energy
Calculate gravitational potential energy using mass, height, and gravity. Also determines the equivalent velocity if the object falls from that height.
Instructions
Calculate gravitational potential energy.
Computes PE = mgh (mass × gravity × height).
Also returns the equivalent velocity if the object falls from that height.
Args:
mass: Object mass in kilograms
height: Height above reference point in meters
gravity: Gravitational acceleration in m/s² (default 9.81 for Earth)
Returns:
Dict containing:
- potential_energy: PE in Joules
- equivalent_kinetic_velocity: Speed if dropped from height (m/s)
Example - Object at 10m height:
result = await calculate_potential_energy(mass=2.0, height=10.0)
# PE = 196.2 J
# Velocity if dropped = 14.0 m/sInput Schema
