You can express the work done by gravity as the negative of the change in potential energy, because this makes the evaluation of the work done by gravity simple to calculate.

Apr 27, 2022 at 13:45 | comment | added | Blue Green | Thanks! So you mean that the change in total energy is used when the work is done by something else other than the gravitational force? And that the work done by the gravitational force is found by the change in potential energy? | |
