Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the gravitational potential at infinity?
  • Step 1: Understand what gravitational potential means. It is a measure of the potential energy per unit mass at a point in a gravitational field.
  • Step 2: Recognize that gravitational potential decreases as you move away from a mass.
  • Step 3: Consider what happens when you are very far away from any mass (like a planet or star).
  • Step 4: At a great distance (infinity), the gravitational influence of any mass becomes negligible.
  • Step 5: Therefore, we define the gravitational potential at this point (infinity) to be zero.
