Respuesta :

Answer is no. Force has nothing to do with gravitational potential energy.

If the potential energy of a particle at some point in space is zero, the force on it may not necessarily be zero at that point.

Definitions:

  • Potential energy: otherwise known as the gravitational potential energy of a particle at some point in space is the energy it possesses by virtue of its position in a gravitational field.

  • The force on a particle is simply the product of its mass and it's acceleration in a specific direction.

  • Potential energy = mgh

  • Force = mg.

In essence, If the potential energy of a particle at some point in space is zero, the force on it may not necessarily be zero at that point.

This is so because a non-zero force may still produce zero energy if the force doesn't act over a distance.
