Question

what is gravitational potential energy ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:Gravitational energy is the potential energy a body with mass has in relation to another massive object due to gravity. It is potential energy associated with the gravitational field. Gravitational energy is dependent on the masses of two bodies, their distance apart and the gravitational constant.

Answer 2

GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY is energy 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 the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

FOR EXAMPLE

a pen being held above a table has a higher gravitational potential than a pen sitting on the table
