Is the gravitational potential of the earth equal to that of the moon at the point between earth and moon where the resultant gravitational potential is maximum?
MSaad
Potential energy is the energy stored in a body or in a system due to its position in a force field or due to its configuration.
Orbit is the gravitationally curved path of one object around a point or another body, for example the gravitational orbit of a planet around a star.
A "point" is an abstract concept, it's infinitely small and has no mass. A real object would have mass and create a gravitational field on it's own, regardless of whether or not it was inside a hollow sphere. We have to observe circular motion and Linear velocity. Potential energy is energy that is stored within a system. It exists when there is a force that tends to pull an object back towards some lower energy position.
According to the law of conservation of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed; hence this energy cannot disappear. Now we have...
Gravitational energy whcih is the potential energy associated with gravitational force.
Hence the moon is smaller than the Earth, combining these reasonings, the moon will never have a gravitional potencial equal to the Earth.

What is the relationship between a Supernova and a Black whole?
It is speculated that a supernova (exploding star), after its reaching its maximum expansion, then collapses into itself, forming an incredibly dark and powerful gravitational force known as a black hole.
What is maximum strength of Rajya Sabha?
between he-man and the hulk.
How DC behave with Capacitor?
Capacitor contains a dielectric sandwitched between two plates. So, it act as a charge storage device. When dc supply is given,it gets charged to its maximum capacity or potential equal to the supply, and then it act as a open circuit, since it has no way to discharge.
What should be the maximum distance between fire sprinkler as per NBC?
The maximum distance between fire sprinkler, per NBC, depends on the sprinkler system. The size of the sprinkler and the number of sprinklers need to be considered when installing.
Difference between natural frequency and resonance frequency?
In natural frequencies the output of the system will be less than the maximum level. In the resonance frequency the output of the system will be the maximum level.
Is gravitational potential maximum at poles or at equator?
Gravitational potential is maximum at poles.
Where is its gravitational potential energy a maximum?
At the top.
When does the string of a car on a roller coaster store its maximum gravitational potential energy?
Any object has maximum gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest position.
Can you have maximum gravitational potential energy and maximum gravitational kinetic energy at the same point?
No, gravitational portential energy is more with more hight and gravitational kinetic energy is maximum just before reaching the ground.
If you throw a ball into the air where will it have the greatest gravitational potential energy?
The ball has the highest gravitational potential energy when it is at its highest point in the air, as that is when it has a velocity of zero and is up the highest.
When a ball is throw straight up at what position is its kinetic energy at its maximum and at what position is gravitational potential energy at its maximum?
It's kinetic energy is highest when it is about half way to the top. The gravitational potential energy is highest when it is about to fall back down.
A ball is thrown straight up into the air at what position is the gravitational energy at its maximum?
There is no such thing as gravitational energy.The ball has the most potential energy at the apex of its throw.
What is the angle between two vectors if their sum is to be maximum?
The resultant vector has maximum magnitude if the vectors act in concert. That is, if the angle between them is 0 radians (or degrees). The magnitude of the resultant is the sum of the magnitudes of the vectors.For two vectors, the resultant is a minimum if the vectors act in opposition, that is the angle between them is pi radians (180 degrees). In this case the resultant has a magnitude that is equal to the difference between the two vectors' magnitudes, and it acts in the direction of the larger vector.At all other angles, the resultant vector has intermediate magnitudes.
When is its gravitational potential energy at maximum?
A body's potential energy is at its maximum when it is at its greatest height to which it is elevated from the ground or another chosen position, such as a table top. Refer to the related link below for more information and illustrations.
Can Elastic potential energy be converted to gravitational potential energy?
Yes. For example when a mass hung to a spring is displaced downwards from its equilibrium position, it oscillates and at the maximum height, the body has gained gravitational Ep compared to its initial position.
A ball is thrown straight up into the air at what position is its gravitational potential energy maximum?
Kinetic energy is at its maximum when the velocity of the ball is greatest. This will occur immediately upon release. Air resistance will slow the ball from this point and unless the ball falls back past its original starting height, it will never achieve a velocity greater than that with which it starts.
What should be the angle between the two vectors of magnitudes 3.20and 5.70 units so that their resultant has a magnitudeof 10 units?
The maximum value that the combination of two vectors can have is sum of their magnitudes which in this case is 8.9. This maximum value is less than the needed 10, therefore no angle between them will produce the necessary resultant.
