Self gravitational potential energy |
|
Answer» A gravitationally BOUND system has a LOWER (i.e., more negative) gravitational potential energy than the SUM of its PARTS — this is what keeps the system aggregated in accordance with the minimum total potential energyprinciple. where G is the gravitationalconstant, M is the mass of the sphere, and R is its radius. |
