Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What happens to the gravitational potential as you move away from a mass?
  • Step 1: Understand what gravitational potential is. It is the energy per unit mass that a mass has due to its position in a gravitational field.
  • Step 2: Recognize that gravitational potential is higher when you are closer to a mass (like a planet or a star).
  • Step 3: As you move away from the mass, the influence of that mass on your position decreases.
  • Step 4: Since the influence decreases, the gravitational potential also decreases.
  • Step 5: Therefore, the further you go from the mass, the lower the gravitational potential becomes.
