Gravitational Potential Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Gravitational Potential = -([G.]*Mass)/Displacement of Body
V = -([G.]*m)/s_body
This formula uses 1 Constants, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[G.] - Gravitational constant Value Taken As 6.67408E-11

Variables Used

Gravitational Potential - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram) - Gravitational Potential is defined as the amount of work done by external agent in bringing a body of unit mass from infinity to that point by keeping no change in kinetic energy.
Mass - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
Displacement of Body - (Measured in Meter) - Displacement of Body is defined to be the change in position of an object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass: 33 Kilogram --> 33 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Displacement of Body: 0.75 Meter --> 0.75 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = -([G.]*m)/s_body --> -([G.]*33)/0.75

Evaluating ... ...

V = -2.9365952E-09

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-2.9365952E-09 Joule per Kilogram --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-2.9365952E-09 ≈ -2.9E-9 Joule per Kilogram <-- Gravitational Potential

What is gravitational potential ?

Gravitational Potential at a point in the gravitational field of a body is defined as the amount of work done by an external agent in bringing a body of unit mass from infinity to that point by keeping no change in kinetic energy.

How to Calculate Gravitational Potential?

Gravitational Potential calculator uses Gravitational Potential = -([G.]*Mass)/Displacement of Body to calculate the Gravitational Potential, Gravitational Potential formula is defined as the energy an object has due to its position within a gravitational field, which is the sum of the products of the gravitational constant, the mass of the object, and the distance from the center of the Earth, divided by the distance from the center of the Earth. Gravitational Potential is denoted by V symbol.

How to calculate Gravitational Potential using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Gravitational Potential, enter Mass (m) & Displacement of Body (s_body) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Gravitational Potential calculation can be explained with given input values -> -2.9E-9 = -([G.]*33)/0.75.

FAQ

What is Gravitational Potential?

Gravitational Potential formula is defined as the energy an object has due to its position within a gravitational field, which is the sum of the products of the gravitational constant, the mass of the object, and the distance from the center of the Earth, divided by the distance from the center of the Earth and is represented as V = -([G.]*m)/s_body or Gravitational Potential = -([G.]*Mass)/Displacement of Body. Mass is the quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it & Displacement of Body is defined to be the change in position of an object.

How to calculate Gravitational Potential?

Gravitational Potential formula is defined as the energy an object has due to its position within a gravitational field, which is the sum of the products of the gravitational constant, the mass of the object, and the distance from the center of the Earth, divided by the distance from the center of the Earth is calculated using Gravitational Potential = -([G.]*Mass)/Displacement of Body. To calculate Gravitational Potential, you need Mass (m) & Displacement of Body (s_body). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Mass & Displacement of Body and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Gravitational Potential?

In this formula, Gravitational Potential uses Mass & Displacement of Body. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Gravitational Potential = -([G.]*Mass*(3*Distance between Centers^2-Distance from Center to Point^2))/(2*Radius^3)
Gravitational Potential = -([G.]*Mass)/Distance from Center to Point
Gravitational Potential = -([G.]*Mass)/Radius
