Q
Q: In a gravitational field, the potential energy of an object is maximum at which point?
Solution:
The gravitational potential energy is considered maximum at infinity, where it is defined to be zero.
Steps: 5
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand what gravitational potential energy is. It is the energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field.
Step 2: Know that gravitational potential energy increases as you move away from a massive object, like a planet.
Step 3: Recognize that at a very far distance (infinity) from the massive object, the gravitational pull is almost zero.
Step 4: Remember that at infinity, we define the gravitational potential energy to be zero.
Step 5: Conclude that since potential energy increases as you move away from the mass, it is considered maximum at infinity.
