A gravitational field is a region in space where an object with mass experiences a force due to the presence of another object with mass. This force is known as gravity.
An object in a gravitational field moves along the path of least resistance, which is determined by the strength and direction of the gravitational force acting on it. This path can be a straight line or a curved trajectory, depending on the shape of the field.
Moving from point A to infinity in a gravitational field allows us to understand the strength of the gravitational force between two objects. As the distance between two objects increases, the gravitational force decreases. At infinity, the force becomes negligible and the objects are considered to be in a state of equilibrium.
The strength of a gravitational field is measured by the acceleration an object experiences when placed in that field. This is known as the gravitational acceleration and is denoted by the symbol 'g'.
Mass and gravitational fields have a direct relationship. The greater the mass of an object, the stronger its gravitational field. This means that the larger the object, the more it will affect the motion of other objects around it through its gravitational field.
