3.4 Gravitational field and potential Flashcards
1
Q
In a uniform gravitational field, what is the relationship between the gravitational field and the change in the gravitational potential difference
A
change in gravitational potential= gravitational field x change in height
change in Vg = g x change in height
2
Q
What is the equation for the gravitational potential in a radial field
A
Vgrav = -Gme/r
