Potential energy in gravitation

The energy that an object has due to its position in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy. The most common application of gravitational potential energy is to Earth’s surface acceleration, which has a potential value of 9.8 m/s2.  Because the gravitational potential energy zero can be chosen at any position (just like […]

According to Newton’s law of gravitation, every particle in this universe attracts another particle with force. The force is directly proportional to the product of their respective masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance present in between them. This force is known as gravitational force. Gravitational potential is the potential energy of

Gravitational self-energy is the amount of work done to create an object of mass M that is formed by joining small masses of mass m which were brought from infinity. Integration has to be performed by considering the potential created for small mass m. It is the energy possessed by the body due to the

Gravitational potential at a particular location is equal to the work per unit mass required to move an object to that location from a fixed location. In this case, the mass plays the role of the charge, and the gravitational potential is analogous to the electric potential. The location where the potential is zero is

We all have experienced this instinctively when a big weight is lifted above our head we feel it be a potentially dangerous situation. However, since the weight can be adequately secured, it is not necessarily hazardous. Something causes the force that keeps the weight from falling due to gravity to fail. To use proper physics

Introduction  Gravitational potential energy is associated with the gravitational field of a planet or a celestial body which affects the mass of an object held at a vertical distance from the surface of the celestial object or the planet. There is a direct correlation between the mass of the object and the gravitational potential energy

Gravitational potential energies refer to energy stored by an object.  The vertical position or height of any object influences the store of energy. Energy storage occurs due to gravitational attraction.  In layman’s terms, gravitational potential energy is a source of power related to gravity or gravity gradient. What is gravitational potential energy? The gravitational pull, sometimes known

Gravitational potential (V) due to uniform solid sphere is an important aspect of Gravitational Potential (V). Gravitational Potential (V) refers to the work done per unit mass in a gravitational field’s point. Some externally applied force is behind the performance of this work. This work would be required to bring a big or massive item

The Gravitational Potential (V) refers to the work done per unit mass at a point in a gravitational field. Some external application force is responsible for performing this work. This work would be required to get a huge item to that particular point from a zero potential’s defined position. Usually, such a position is said

The form of energy that an object has due to its position in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy. The most typical example of gravitational potential energy is an object at the earth’s surface with a constant gravitational acceleration of 9.8m/s. The gravitational potential energy zero can be chosen at any point
