Question

derivation for gravitational potential energy class 11

Answer 1

Gravitational potential energy isenergy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where thegravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

Answer 2

Heya..
P.E=GMm(1-h/R-1)
=GMmh/R^2
=(GM/R^2)mh
=mgh.
#The gravitational potential energy is mgh.
Hope you understand..
