Gravitational Potential Energy Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Gravitational Potential Energy = -([G.]*Mass 1*Mass 2)/Distance between Centers
U = -([G.]*m₁*m₂)/r_c
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

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

Variables Used

Gravitational Potential Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Gravitational Potential Energy of two mass system is equal to the work done by an external agent in assembling them, while their initial separation was infinity.
Mass 1 - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass 1 is the quantity of matter in a body 1 regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
Mass 2 - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass 2 is the quantity of matter in a body 1 regardless of its volume or of any forces acting on it.
Distance between Centers - (Measured in Meter) - Distance between Centers is defined as the distance between the centers of attracting body and the body being drawn.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass 1: 7.34E+22 Kilogram --> 7.34E+22 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Mass 2: 5.97E+24 Kilogram --> 5.97E+24 Kilogram No Conversion Required
Distance between Centers: 384000 Meter --> 384000 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

U = -([G.]*m₁*m₂)/r_c --> -([G.]*7.34E+22*5.97E+24)/384000

Evaluating ... ...

U = -7.6160638225E+31

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

-7.6160638225E+31 Joule --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

-7.6160638225E+31 ≈ -7.6E+31 Joule <-- Gravitational Potential Energy
