Question

Define intensity of gravitational field. Is it a scalar or vector quantity?

Answer 1

Hey mate, here is your answer :


The gravitational field intensity (EG) or (g) is the force on a unit mass at a point in the field. Since the force (F) on a body of mass m in a gravitational field of a body of mass M = GMm/r2 . you can see that the force per unit mass is given by F/m.

It is a vector quantity.


Hope this answer helps you...

Answer 2

Intensity of gravitational field is the force on a unit mass at a point in the field. It is a vector quantity.
