Derive the expression for gravitational potential energy. |
|
Answer» Solution :The gravitational potential DUE to mass `m_(1)` at a POINT P which is at a distance r from `m_(1)` is obtained by making `m_(2)` equal to unity (`m_(2)` = 1kg). THUS the gravitational potential V® due to mass `m_(1)` at a distance r is `V(r)=-(Gm_1)/(r)` |
