Because in many situations the gravitational field doesn't show any dependence on time (excluding some situations of oscillating fields) it satisfies requirements for a system to be conservative (in order a system to be conservative it's potential energy should not have dependence on time).

Is it gravitational field conservative?

Yes, the gravitational field is conservative. This means that the work done by gravity on an object moving between two points is independent of the path taken, only depending on the initial and final positions. This conservation of energy is a fundamental principle in physics.


What does energy have to do with magnet?

Whenever there is a certain type of force, one that fulfills certain conditions (called a "conservative force") - such as a magnetic field, an electric field, or a gravitational field - there is an associated potential energy.


What is formula of gravitational field intensity?

The formula for gravitational field intensity is given by ( g = \frac{F}{m} ), where ( g ) is the gravitational field intensity, ( F ) is the gravitational force, and ( m ) is the mass of the object experiencing the gravitational field.


Work done in a conservative field?

In a conservative field, the work done by a particle moving between two points depends only on the initial and final positions and is independent of the path taken. This means that the work done is path-independent and can be calculated using the potential energy difference between the two points. Examples of conservative fields include gravitational and electrostatic fields.


Is magnetic field conservative field?

it is not a conservative feild....it is a non conservative feild


The mass of an object in a gravitional field is called?

The mass of an object in a gravitational field is called the object's "mass".The presence or absence of a gravitational field has no effect on the mass.


Work done by gravitational field is independat of the path followed?

Yes, the work done by a gravitational field is independent of the path followed by an object. This is because gravity is a conservative force, meaning the work done only depends on the initial and final positions of the object and not on the path taken between the two points.


What is Jupiters gravitational field strength?

Jupiters gravitational field strength is 25 Nkg^-1


Is electric field a conservative field?

yes.


What is the unit for gravitational field strength?

The unit for gravitational field strength is newtons per kilogram (N/kg). It represents the force exerted per unit mass in a gravitational field.


What is the speed of a gravitational field?

The gravitational field is basically "just there". However, any change in the gravitational field - for example, when an object moves, collapses, etc. - is believed to propagate at the speed of light.


Under what condition is a vector field considered conservative if the curl of the field is zero?

A vector field is considered conservative when its curl is zero.
