Well, I was thinking of something more planet, space related. Like maybe a rocket going up into space (leaving Earth), but would it match the equation? I wouldn't want an image that isn't relevant to that specific equation. :-)
What I'm looking for is an image to depict the increase in gravitational potential energy in a radial field. No mathematics is required. No graphs are required. No explanations required. What sort of image would look good beside the equation GMm*[1/r_1 - 1/r_2]? :-) Suggestions all welcome :-)
I'm a maths enthusiast with a pure A Level mathematics qualification. I'm currently looking to improve my physics knowledge as I have a great interest in astronomy. I'm also curious about gravity.
I would like to thank you members in advance for the assistance you provide. I look forward to...
A question to physicists: What sort of real world scenario / image would *best* depict the increase in gravitational potential energy in a radial field?
Would a rocket traveling through the Earth's atmosphere suffice or are there better alternatives?
This image would have to be relevant to the...
