Question

what is the potential energy in Gravitational field ​

Answer 1

Answer:

gravitational potential. n. The work per unit of mass required to move a mass from a reference point to a specified point, measured in joules per kilogram. The gravitational field is the negative of the gradient of the gravitational potential.

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.

The equation is U = -GMm/r
