Calculate Gravitational Potential





Formula

The formula to calculate Gravitational Potential is:

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

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. Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or any forces acting on it. Distance from center to point is the length of the line segment measured from the center of a body to a particular point.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ V = -\frac{G \cdot 33}{25} \approx -8.8097856 \times 10^{-11} \]

The Gravitational Potential is approximately -8.8097856E-11 Joule per Kilogram.
