Conventionally, the magnitude of gravitational potential energy for an object at infinity from the earth is _____ ((M = Mass of the earth; m = Mass of the object at infinity; R = Radius of the earth).

Conventionally, the magnitude of gravitational potential energy for an object at infinity from the earth is _____ ((M = Mass of the earth; m = Mass of the object at infinity; R = Radius of the earth). Correct Answer Zero

Gravitational Potential Energy (U) = -(G*M*m)/r At infinity, r -> infinity Therefore, U -> 0.
