Two point masses 1 kg and 4 kg are separated by a distance of 10 cm. Find gravitational potential energy of the two point masses.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the gravitational potential energy (U) between two point masses, we can use the formula: \[ U = -\frac{G \cdot m_1 \cdot m_2}{r} \] Where: - \( U \) is the gravitational potential energy, ...
