define gravitational potential

In such a case, 1/R=0 and thegravitational potential energy will be equal to. U i = ( G M m ) / r. This Ui is called the gravitational potential.Gravitational potential is the work done to bring a unit mass m to a position r from infinity without allowing it to accelerate under the influence of another charge M.
hope this help u

mahadevabhay0000: All conservative forces have potential energy associated with them. The force of gravity is no exception. Gravitational potential energy is usually given the symbol U_gU
g
. It represents the potential an object has to do work as a result of being located at a particular position in a gravitational field.

Answered by mahadevabhay0000

In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move the object from a fixed reference location to the location of the object. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.
