What is Gravitational Constant (G)?
Gravitational Constant (G): If and are the two masses of two bodies respectively separated by a distance r, the force of attraction F along the line joining the centres of…

Mention Characteristics of Gravitational Force.
Characteristics of gravitational force : Since the gravitational force act along the line joining the particles, it is a central force and so gravitational field is conservative. Gravitational force is…

What Is Gravitational Field?
Gravitational Field: The region of space around a body within which its gravitational force of attraction can be experienced is called the gravitational field. Mathematically it is extended to infinity.…

What Do You Mean By Gravitational Intensity?
Gravitational Intensity: Gravitational intensity at a point in a gravitational field is defined as the attractive force experienced by a unit mass placed at that point. The gravitational intensity at…

What Do You Mean By Gravitational Potential?
Gravitational potential: The amount of work done in bringing a unit mass from infinity to any point in the gravitational field is called the gravitational potential at that point. Gravitational…
