how to calculate the potential energy of an object in matlab

To calculate the potential energy of an object in Matlab, you need to know the mass of the object, the height at which it is located, and the gravitational constant. You can use the formula PE = mgh, where PE is the potential energy, m is the mass of the object, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height at which the object is located.

Here's an example Matlab code to calculate the potential energy of an object:

main.m
% Define variables
m = 5; % mass of object (in kg)
g = 9.81; % gravitational constant (in m/s^2)
h = 10; % height of object (in meters)

% Calculate potential energy
PE = m * g * h;

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

In this example, we assume a mass of 5kg, height of 10m and gravitational constant of 9.81m/s^2. The result would be displayed as "The potential energy of the object is 490.5 Joules."
