Answer:

Gravitational energy (GPE) is the potential energy a physical object 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 (G).

In everyday cases (i.e. close to the Earth's surface), the gravitational field is considered to be constant. For such scenarios the Newtonian formula for potential energy can be reduced to:

{\displaystyle U=mgh}

where {\displaystyle U} is the gravitational potential energy, {\displaystyle m} is the mass, {\displaystyle g} is the gravitational field, and {\displaystyle h} is the height.[1] This formula treats the potential energy as a positive quantity.

The important speciality to the gravitational potential energy is described below:

1. Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position with respect to a reference point in a gravitational field.

2. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object of considerable mass, near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s^2.

3. The factors that affect an object's gravitational potential energy are

i. its height relative to some reference point

ii. its mass, and

iii. the strength of the gravitational field it is in.

4. Mathematically, (GPE = weight x gravitational acceleration × height).
