Define gravitational patential?
Answers
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is an energy an object possess because of its position in an gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential is for an object near the surface of the earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant as about 9.8m square...
Answer:
The gravitational potential at a point in a gravitational field is the work done per unit mass that would have to be done by some externally applied force to bring a massive object to that point from some defined position of zero potential, usually infinity .
For example, a pen being held above a table has a higher gravitational potential than a pen sitting on the table.
Gravitational potential energy is mechanical energy minus kinetic energy.
