Deriving The Formula For Gravitational Potential Energy

In this video I derive a very commonly used formula in physics (-GMm/r) that is often left unexplained by teachers in high school/sixth form classes. Deriving a formula for gravitational potential energy requires just some basic integration of polynomials and a solid understanding of the definition of gravitational potential energy (which is explained in great depth during the video)
