Needed to calculate gravitational potential energy Answer Bank the acceleration due to gravity g in the vicinity of the object the vertical height & of the object above some reference point the velume V of the object the amount of time r that has passed the horinontal distance d of the object from some reference point the velocity e of the object the mass m of the object Using the symbols defined in the first part, complete the equation for the gravitational potential energy of the object. gravitational potential energy R SANAZ

Answer 1

for calculating gravitational potential we need the mass of the object , the vertical height h of the object above some referrance frame and acceleration due to gravity.

the gravitational energy = -(GM m)/h =-mgh where g =GM/h^2
