Q1
What is the gravitational potential energy U of two masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r?
U = -G * (m1 * m2) / r
U = G * (m1 * m2) / r
U = (m1 + m2) * r
U = G * (m1 - m2) / r
Show Solution
Copy
The gravitational potential energy is given by U = -G * (m1 * m2) / r.

Q
Q: What is the gravitational potential energy U of two masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance r?
Solution:
The gravitational potential energy is given by U = -G * (m1 * m2) / r.
Steps: 6
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that gravitational potential energy (U) is the energy stored due to the position of two masses.
Step 2: Identify the two masses involved, which are m1 and m2.
Step 3: Recognize that the distance between the two masses is represented by r.
Step 4: Learn that G is a constant called the gravitational constant, which helps calculate the force of gravity.
Step 5: Use the formula U = -G * (m1 * m2) / r to find the gravitational potential energy.
Step 6: Plug in the values of m1, m2, r, and G into the formula to calculate U.
