Explain the gravitational potential at a point in gravitational field. Give relation between gravitational field intensity and gravitational potential.
Answers
gravitational potential at any point in gravitational field is defined as the work done on unit mass to bring it from infinity to that point.
gravitational intensity at any point in the gravitational field is defined as the force acting on unit mass placed at that point .
if a particle of mass M is placed at the point in gravitational field where gravitational potential is V then gravitational potential energy of particle is
P.E.is equal to Gravitational potential into mass

Answer:What is the Gravitational Force?
The gravitational force is a force that attracts any two objects with mass. We call the gravitational force attractive because it always tries to pull masses together, it never pushes them apart. In fact, every object, including you, is pulling on every other object in the entire universe! This is called Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation.
define gravitation
Gravitation is the attractive force existing between any two objects that have mass.
