Gravitation (9 of 17) Gravitational PE Far From Earth, the Negative Sign, An Explanation

Explains how to calculate gravitational potential energy of an object that is far from Earth and why the equation has a negative sign in front of it. Gravitational potential energy is the energy associated with a gravitational field. Gravitational energy is dependent on the masses of the two objects, the distance between them and the gravitational constant (G). Two or more masses always have a gravitational potential. As required by the law of conservation of energy the gravitational field energy is always negative.
