Calculate Gravitational Potential





Formula

The formula to calculate the Gravitational Potential (V) is:

\[ V = -\frac{G \cdot m}{s} \]

Definition

Gravitational Potential is defined as the amount of work done by an external agent in bringing a body of unit mass from infinity to that point without changing its kinetic energy. It is measured in Joule per Kilogram.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ V = -\frac{6.67408E-11 \cdot 33}{0.75} \approx -2.9365952E-09 \]

The Gravitational Potential is approximately -2.9365952E-09 Joule per Kilogram.
