how to calculate the gravitational potential energy of an object in matlab

To calculate the gravitational potential energy of an object in MATLAB, we first need to know the mass of the object (m), the gravitational acceleration (g), and the height (h) at which the object is located. Then, we can use the formula for gravitational potential energy:

main.m
U = m * g * h

Here is an example MATLAB code to calculate gravitational potential energy of an object with a mass of 10 kg, located at a height of 5 meters, on Earth where the gravitational acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2:

main.m
% Input parameters
m = 10;         % mass in kg
g = 9.81;       % gravitational acceleration in m/s^2
h = 5;          % height in meters

% Calculation
U = m * g * h;  % gravitational potential energy in joules

% Display the result
disp(['The gravitational potential energy of the object is ', num2str(U), ' J.']);

Output:

main.m
The gravitational potential energy of the object is 490.5 J.
