Question

explain gravitational potential with expression

Answer 1

The general expression forgravitational potential energy arises from the law of gravity and is equal to the work done against gravity to bring a mass to a given point in space. ... This is the form for thegravitational potential energy which is most useful for calculating the escape velocity from the earth'sgravity.

Answer 2

$\huge\textbf{Gravitational Potential Energy :}$




Gravitational Potential Energy at a point in gravitational field of a mass is defined as amount of work done to bring another mass from infinity to that point, without acceleration..



Consider an object of mass (mo) is brought from $\infty$ to point (P) in gravitational field of mass (M) at point (O) as shown...
