- Level
- A2
Use Vgrav = −Gm/r for gravitational potential in a radial field.
Use - gravitational potential in a radial field to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.
This matters because - gravitational potential in a radial field determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.
Example: apply - gravitational potential in a radial field to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.
Boundary: - Gravitational potential in a radial field is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
