To find the gravitational potential at the origin given the gravitational field \(\vec{E} = -20 \, \text{N/kg} \, \hat{i} - 20 \, \text{N/kg} \, \hat{j}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between gravitational field and potential The gravitational potential \(V\) is related to the gravitational field \(\vec{E}\) by the equation: \[ V = -\int \vec{E} \cdot d\vec{r} \] This means we need to integrate the components of the gravitational field. ...
