A Level Physics worksheet containing questions about the lesson: Gravitational Potential & Energy
Model Answers Included
This worksheet covers the following content:
-gravitational potential at a point as the work done in bringing unit mass from infinity to the point.
-gravitational potential is zero at infinity
-gravitational potential Vg =-GM/r at a distance r from a point mass M
-changes in gravitational potential
-force–distance graph for a point or spherical mass; work done is area under graph
-gravitational potential energy E = mVg = - GMm / r at a distance r from a point mass M
-escape velocity.
