SC R186 3. Please use words to DISERIBE the gravitational potential energy of the system of two point mass (m, and m2) The gravitational force is attracting, when to the two masses are getting closer, the attracting forces (the gravity field ) does_positive or negative (circle one) work Hence, when they get closer, the gravitational potential energy of the system isincreased (stored) or reduced (consumed). just lewv to be zero at infinite distac when the apple falls from the tree. If we define the potential energy to be zero at infinite distance, the gravitational potential energy of the system will be When you double the distance between mi and m2, the magnitude of the gravity force will When you only double m2, the magnitude of the system's potential energy will the magnitude of the gravity force will than zero at any distance closer to infinity. finity the gravity field due to mi will

Explanation / Answer

if the masses are attracted and moving towards each other work done is negative

increases

greater than zero

decrease by four times

increase by two
