Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the unit of gravitational potential?
  • Step 1: Understand what gravitational potential means. It is the potential energy per unit mass at a point in a gravitational field.
  • Step 2: Know that potential energy is measured in Joules (J).
  • Step 3: Recognize that mass is measured in kilograms (kg).
  • Step 4: Combine these two units to find the unit of gravitational potential, which is Joules per kilogram (J/kg).
