Question

what is gravitational potential energy with explain formula

Answer 1

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 9.8m/s2.

Answer 2

the gravitational potential energy at a point is equal to the work per unit mass that would be done by the force of gravity if an object is moved from its position to a fixed reference point
