gravitational vector field

The gravitational field intensity at a point is defined as the force experienced by a unit mass placed at that poin..

The space around a body within which its gravitational force of attraction is experienced, is called its gravitational field..

If M is the mass of a body around which a field exists and m is the test mass placed at a distance r from M in this field then, Potential energy per unit mass is gravitational potential (..

The gravitational force between two particles are equal in magnitude but opposite in directio..

The work done in moving a unit mass from infinity to a point in a gravitational field is called the gravitational potential at that point. It is a negative, scalar quantity. The unit is JKg - 1..

Gravitational Potential - The work done in moving a unit mass from infinity to a point in a gravitational field is called the gravitational potential at that point. It is a negative, scalar quantity. The unit is JKg - 1..

It was mentioned earlier that, displacement vectors are added to displacement vectors, or velocity vectors are added to velocity vectors. Just as it is meaningless to add scalar quantities of different kinds, such as mass and temperature, so also it is ..

The work done in moving a unit mass from one point to another in a gravitational field is called gravitational potential difference. The SI unit is JKg - ..
