Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the maximum value of gravitational potential energy and where it occurs, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand Gravitational Potential Energy Gravitational potential energy (U) is defined in relation to the gravitational force (F) between two masses. The formula for gravitational potential energy is given by: \[ U = -\int F \cdot dr \] ...
